You have to be careful where you buy it because the prices of the very same computer change from place to place. (not for only pcs but for every electronique devices) If you fall into the first store without doing any research, you can pay a lot more. If you are going to visit İstanbul, I can give you the name of some of the places to buy.
Mine is Sony VAIO VGN-B1XP and I like it. There're better VAIOs as well. Besides, mine is 2.3 kg which I think is not very heavy. One of the first criteria I was looking for was the weight. Don't buy laptop over 2,5 kg, I advise.

...I think you should buy one with your ordinary keyboard and just add a turkish keyboard to the computer when you need it. That way you can have it both ways...and if you take the computer back to Holland you can use it as normal.
Besides that I consider Dell to have good prices and good computers...and excellent support! ...my ex had his pc from Dell. Lot of computer for the price he paid.

hmm... I'm a Mac user after suffering 11 years of PC-Windows migrane  No regrets though even there's competition from PC world (even though they claimed to be better than Mac and never admitted copied Apple's idea... )
My investments in Macs are for many reasons... besides work. I do say it's true to my nature of my job, i prefer to use Mac..hassle free, no virus, no hiccups,no reboot the whole system if only one software thinking of spoiling your nice day! Is the stability of the software & hardware. So many softwares are included into the Mac you buy (that you don't even need to buy others) or u can even have 3rd party freewares or sharewares to upload for Macs which are available out there! If u compare the price you going to spend on a Mac laptop and a PC laptop... better to spend on Mac laptops, Why? MacBook has built in iSight/webcam, built-in wireless (which I love.. Free surfing!!!) capability and the works and it's just entry level laptop: http://www.apple.com/macbook/macbook.html
Try to compare the price of what MacBook have to the PC laptop of same hardwares and/ softwares given in the current market. You will be surprise...
Of course, many people said Macs are expensive but i look at it as long time investments... The money i put into Mac just the same as i spend or more on a PC when you need to replace fans, upgrade this and that..motherboard kaput,etc. In the end is just top up almost the price of Mac which has less or no problems at all...
Nevertheless, i'm getting the MacBook 13 inch this month or possible early next month. Yes, Macs with Intel-based can run Window's softwares (thi s method is not applicable to PC users...) Apple released beta software called Boot Camp that lets you run Windows XP natively on an Intel-based Mac but... there are better 3rd party softwares out there which is Free. There are few i had in mind...
At the moment, with my Macs (updated until 10.4.6) I had to use VPC (Virtual PC) IF i have to run WIndows (mind you... VPC makes Windows OS really like Windows! ) That means I can use 2 OS at same time... or more if i want on my Mac. But then Microsoft bought over VPC, so that means monopolisation again (and again) kind of tracking Mac users... Luckily, the VPC i bought is before the bought over by Microsoft!
Hmm... to cut the story short..since TC is not a IT Forum... Deli_kizin, don't rush ..just have a look at Apple authorised resellers in yr area. Ask them questions..blow their mind off if u can (i do that always  ) If u can see and touch the Macs..go ahead..thats what showroom pieces are for!
 @ Aslan... just like you but I'm on the reverse side I used to be PC user then i switch to Mac. I can tell you my blood pressure reduced and i have extra time for myself instead of wasting time trying to figure out where the heck my data were or rebooting the whole system when one of the software crashed,etc.
So, Deli_Kizin, choose wisely... Don't be a slave to a computer but let it work for you!!! Most importantly, ask yourself what you going to do with the laptop? Is the softwares PLUG & PLAY or is it PLUG & PRAY instead? Think of long term usage.
OH this is best... You can type Turkish in Mac and even Arabic. Mac also supports Chinese, Yiddish, Hindi.... etc. I don't use Turkish keyboard to type but the standard keyboard -QWERTY though
In the International Islamic University in my country, they use Mac..cos it's the only system that can type Arabic.

Hmm but the Turkish keyboard is almost the same as the Dutch one, only has extra characters. So no trouble in typing Dutch or English, nor Turkish.
I believe Gökhan (Kadir's roommate) has a laptop from DELL and since Kadir uses that too (instead of his own pc), we have a lot less disconnection trouble.
