EDIT (2024-08-10T19:23Z): I should clarify that I am referring to the layout that you use for a physical computer keyboard, not a mobile/virtual keyboard.

I live in a qwertz ISO layout country, but I use qwerty ANSI layout keyboards because I find that text editing is better with them. Makes finding a laptop pretty hard though.

I got lucky that an american friend who brought a Thinkpad from the states gifted that to me. But in general it's not a bad option to buy used thinkpads and just replacing the keyboard. Still a bit more expensive than if that was a common option, though, of course.

If you have the layout memorized, then what's physically shown on the keys doesn't really matter — usually switching the keyboard layout in the OS is pretty easy.
