Hello all, I hope you are all fine and well. First time posting here.

I have never owned or used a mac in my life, but I am about to change all that for good.
I want to buy a 15" MBP, from the apple website because, although I am a student in the US, my native language is Spanish, so I need a spanish keyboard (not all of my writing is done in English).
As I understand it, if I change the language to Spanish when building my order, I also get a Spanish OS, in this case Leopard (right?).

Are there any disadvantages of ordering a spanish set up? Will I also get Leopard? How fast is shipping? I am a graduate student, do I apply for the student discount?

Also, does anybody has a picture of the apple spanish keyboard layout? I have found some on google but are not in spanish and others present two different layouts.

I know, lots of questions, but please help me out, this is a major decision for me, and I already made it, it's not just a matter of fine tunning.

You will get the same OS as anyone.

Leopard ships with most languages on one disc. So at install, you'll just have to change your main language to Spanish.

If you go to the online store, you will find an international button down in the lower right corner. It has an entry for España. Once you go there, there's a link to education purchases on the left side. I didn't go any further than that, but it looks promising.
Good luck, and welcome to the Macintosh world.
