Refurbished laptop with an AZERTY keyboard
AZERTY is the layout of France and French-speaking Belgium. The A and the Q are swapped, as are the Z and the W, and the digits sit under shift.
AZERTY differs more from QWERTY than QWERTZ does. The A and the Q are swapped, the Z and the W as well, and the M sits to the right of the L instead of at the bottom left. The number row works the other way round: without shift you get punctuation, with shift the digits.
With us you choose the layout per machine. Every laptop above can be ordered with a French AZERTY layout; the product page shows which configurations exist.
Belgian AZERTY differs from the French one on a few keys. We supply the French layout; anyone working in Belgium can select the Belgian variant in the operating system, as the letters sit in the same places.
Unsure about the layout?
The three layouts differ on only a handful of keys, and those are exactly the ones you use all day. Below are the other two and the article where we put them side by side.
Frequently asked questions about AZERTY keyboards
Why are the digits under shift?
French uses accented letters a great deal, and those sit on the number row. The digits themselves have therefore moved to shift.
Can I choose the layout per laptop?
Yes. The layout is part of the configuration, just like the memory and the storage. The product page shows what can be ordered for that machine.
Is Belgian AZERTY the same as French?
Almost. The letters are the same; the difference is a few punctuation marks and the position of some accent keys. We supply the French layout.
Can the keyboard be replaced later?
On many business models the keyboard is replaceable. Whether that applies to your machine is shown on the product page; if in doubt, contact us before ordering.
