To be honest, the weirdest thing with the keyboard is typing without any tactile feedback. Drive me nuts not to have moving keys!  |
1.)HP doesn't provide a Swedish keyboard. But check the keyboard patches on Precentral, I am sure it is in there somewhere. Or do what I do when I write German and Vietnamese, I just use the English keyboard and don't use the special characters. People know what I am writing about from the context. If I switched keyboards the different layout slows me down too much. For German Umlauts you can substitute ae, oe, ue, anyway. And Vietnamese are used to it, everybody writes SMS on their phones without tonal marks and Umlauts.
2.)As far as the keyboard's tactile experience is concerned there is obviously no way to improve on that. Due to the resizing options it already is the best of all tablets. You can use an external bluetooth or (with some tinkering) a USB keyboard. But this sort of defeats the purpose of a tablet. They were not created for extensive typing. They are for media consumption and limited typing. (You didn't throw away that laptop, did you?) If you do add a physical keyboard and the screen is much further back everything looks pretty small on that screen. Not ideal either, but a lot better if you really want a laptop replacement.
