    Hi!

    Can someone please post a picture of the german keyboard version from Acer Timeline 4810? I'm considering buying one from Germany (lower price, SU9400 available) and I need to know if all the keys needed to my native language are there.

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    carlos

    Hi embrion, thanks for your help - the keys match what I need! I'm browsing the store right now to buy it :)

    As for the warranty, I'm inside the EU (Portugal), so my local Acer distributor/reseller is obliged to honor the warranty, even if I bought it in Germany.

    Thanks!

    Are You sure that Acer warranty is valid across whole EU?

    To my knowledge, the two year warranty european directive dates back to 2002 and enforces suppliers selling in EU space, so if Acer has a local distributor it has to honor the warranty.

    On the other hand, if the store I'm buying from lists my country as a valid destination, they have to honor the 2 year warranty. As a last resort, if I ever need to repair my PC, I'll have to send it to Germany.

    But please be aware, I do not have the legal background or references to support my statements, so don't take them for granted.

    All such Warranty issues are EU wide... VW lost such a case back in 2004, note however this can only be enforced across the ORIGINAL countries as the new Joiners still have a few years to fully implement and comply

    Portugal joined the EU in 1986, so I'm covered - but thanks anyway.
