This laptop has a QWERTY keyboard, which is different from a Belgian AZERTY keyboard. The Q and A keys are reversed on a QWERTY keyboard. The same goes for the W and Z keys. QWERTY keyboards also don't have keys for letters with accents. That's why you should only choose a QWERTY keyboard if you're used to it.
