Hi, I’m looking to buy an Apple MacBook Air and wondered if anyone had used one with a Spanish keyboard.
I have an iPhone so used to Apple but most of my work is done in English.
From reading on Google it seems like the only issue is the @ sign which obviously for emails is very important.
Advice would be greatly appreciated
Easy to get used to and you can change the keyboard setting to English (UK) if you want. Just means some of the keys will be marked differently and the @ sign is the same key as an English keyboard though marked as a different key. Brackets on is marked as shift 8 hthe Spanish keyboard but if you set it to English then it becomes shift 9 as normal and the brackets off is shift 0 not shift 9 as marked.
? is marked as hyphen on the Spanish bit and the actual ? is next to 0 but becomes in the same place if you change it to English.
Easy to get used to if you can touch type but a bit awkward if you need to look at the keys when typing. You can get mini stickers for a couple of euro to go over the key to show what it will do if English is selected.

Thank you very much I hoped you would have the answer.

Hi
Bought the MacBook with Spanish keyboard and getting along fine thank you. However my major problem now is getting the Cl@ve app on it and the Autofirma to use mt digital signature. I have downloaded the Mozaila Firefox app but my laptop won't let me download from the App Store.
My original app is on windows 10. I would be grateful for any advice you could give
