I have just bought a laptop from the dell outletand thought I had done good until I read the specs after ordering.

I am sure that when I looked at the specs prior to buying it said nothing about being in spanish!!! My question is have I totally blown my bargain, or can this (language, keyboard?) be changed? I am not very computer savvy so I apologise for that. Thanks, Becky:confused:

    well youll need to brush up on your spanish but if you goto CONTROL PANEL theres a LANGUAGE option there (Which will load in english so long as its already built in or otherwise you need the OPERATING SYSTEMS disc to load it from)
    :idea:
