I'm almost convinced that my next laptop will be a tablet, but when I was looking for one recently I decided to go with a conventional 12-inch laptop instead, because tablets just aren't *quite* there yet in terms of getting something...

It depends what sort of software you want to run. You might be perfectly happy zipping along until your next graphics card needs a newer version of X.org, a program needs a newer gnome, you need a feature in the newer kernel, etc. You...

I doubt there's a difference between the Swedish and German MSI keyboards beyond the pictures on the keys. If you don't mind that, then you could look at German distributors. I'd give all the Swedish distributors a call and see if they...
