    I live in ireland and am considering buying a vostro since it has a very nice price/performance ratio.
    There are a few things i am unsure about tho.
    1; i want a swedish keyboard on it and also, if possible, a swedish power kable.
    2; is it even possible to buy a vostro unless you have a small buissness?
    I know i can contact dell with these questions but from experience customer support is generally slower then people on forums :)

    You could purchase a Dell Vostro regardless. They are just broken down to those categories for those who is looking for a laptop for buisness. So yes, you can buy one without owning anytype of buisness.

    In order to get a swedish keyboard and power cable, you would need to order through Dell Sweden.

    I am not sure if they would "export" it to Ireland directly, but it may be worth a try. If not, I am not sure if you have family or know anyone who would be willing to ship it to you from Sweden, but that may be a possibiltiy. The price should be fairly consistent in the European segment.
