Macbooks on Amazon Europe

Has anyone experience purchasing Macbooks on Amazons EU sites? Currently looking for a new macbook and have found them cheapest there (specifically .es if anyone's looking)

Wondering if there's anything i need to be aware of before purchasing it?

The listing says "Spanish QWERTY Keyboard" not sure what that means
The plug will presumably be Spanish but i think i can switch that with my previous plug adapter

A Spanish-language keyboard is different than an English-language one:

If you can live with it on your MacBook, then it's worth the cheaper price! (I know it's a Windows keyboard, but the letters and characeter placement will be the same on a Mac keyboard)

thanks, completely slipped my mind about the different letters. I reckon i'll have to give it a miss, can't take a risk this not wrecking my head at the price.

By any chance do you know if the Macbook M1's can be upgraded RAM/Storage after purchasing? seen a lot of reports saying it's very hard to do yourself and not advised, but can Apple do it themselves or authorised places

I'm pretty sure the MacBook Air is not user-upgradeable, not 100% on the MacBook Pros, though (although they're mostly still Intel, for now)...

no upgradeable at all - unless ordered with the upgrades from factory
