Hello guys, i am from Greece and we use qwerty layout on keyboards. I found a great deal for a laptop (notebook) in a german shop but unfortunately it has a qwertz layout. I know i can figure it out through control panel, so the keys will be reassigned but i would prefer to swap it.
This is the notebook I want to buy.

1st question: As you can see the specific model has backlit keyboard and I want to stay that way. Do I have to buy a new backlit keyboard or can I use the leds of the old one? I mean to install the qwerty keyboard using the leds of the qwertz. Is it possible or do the leds come integrated?

2nd question: http:// Will this fit? is that what i'm looking for?
