Is my MacBook a uk or us version

have a look at this photo and you'll know wether its UK or US

Cjx blade,

there are three types of English-language keyboard for MacBook Pros: UK, US, and International. The US keyboard has a “horizontal” Return key, as kevkear’s image shows. The UK and International keyboards both have a “vertical” Return key, as well as an extra key between the left Shift key and the Z key. The way to distinguish between the UK keyboard and the International keyboard is that the UK keyboard has “£” as Shift-3, and the International keyboard has “#” as Shift-3. You can still use the British keyboard layout via the Keyboard pane of System Preferences if you have an International keyboard.

No idea about Amazon, but if you go to the Apple online UK store, you can buy a Macbook pro with all sorts of different keyboards.

Go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and make sure British is the only one present if you want to make sure that £ is at Shift + 3.

If you want the keyboard to behave like a PC keyboard does, with @ over at right hand side of the keyboard instead of at Shift + 2, then you should have British PC as the only one present.

I would try using it and see what you get. Other than the Power Cord there really shouldn't be a lot of difference.

If you got a good deal then use it.

Use the Keyboard International System Preferences to see the character set to find out what character gives you the pound symbol. Even Americans can type Pound with the correct key sequence.
