Import surface or just change language and import keyboard?
I live in Germany but want to get a US Surface Pro 3. I contacted Microsoft a few times, and it seems that I can only get a German version with a German keyboard-cover. I feel like I have 2 options:
- Get the German one, import a US keyboard, try to change OS language and maybe deal with problems like this. Have a totally valid warranty and return options.
- Import a US one including US keyboard. Possibly not have a warranty or be able to return it.
Do you have any insight into this? Do you foresee major problems either way? Thanks for the help.

One major consideration is warranty service: for the duration of your warranty (1-year or 2-year), you should decide whether US or Germany is easier to get warranty in for your SP3.
Actually, according to the German Microsoft Store the standard warranty is 2 years as opposed to the 1 year (?) in the US.
