    The Dell Inspiron M5030 multimedia notebook was released in September of last year, but when it gets its refresh it will include a new functionality, a first for a major manufacturer in the United States: it will be a Spanish-language customized machine.

    I don't have anything to say without getting political, but I could get into many reasons why I think this is a very bad idea.
    This topic as a whole just gets me hot headed.

    How is it a "bad" idea?
    Sounds like a good one, to me.
    Yo quiero una computadora en español. :)

    Well we all have our own opinions, but I simply can't give mine because of the forum rules.

    I'm not a US citizen but I think it's not a bad idea. I live in Spain but I use a laptop bought in US(got it from NBR). The OS and software/games on all my computers are in English however all my keyboards are in Spanish. It's really uncomfortable to write in Spanish with a US keyboard and also sometimes in games the keys defined in the game doesn't correspond to the key on the keyboard. You might say it's pretty easy to change laptop's keyboard but it's not for the average user.

    I think I understand what Roger's problem is, no matter he doesn't say it out loud and I gotta say he is somewhat right, some people might not be happy about this for obvious reasons.
    Dell might run into some trouble with that move although I doubt it will be much more than a few articles here and there.
