People (hundred thousands of them really) from the former USSR all around the world use one of the following work-arounds to solve that problem: 1) They buy _stickers_ (those do exist even any type of keyboard), for example here: http://webideas.com/russianstickers/ 2) Many people choose another approach that lets them type Russian say at work on the desktop - without Russian keyboard and/or stickers - they type "in Russian - as in English": (a) with "RU" mode of system keybord all symbols - dot, comma, quotes, etc. - are typed the same way as they are typed while "EN" mode - where they are drawn on _Latin_ keybord (b) with "RU" mode, Russian letters are typed by using similar (phonetically) Latin letters: A-A,O-O, E-E, K-K,...,Б-B, Д-D,Ф-F,... It is called Phonetic (homophonic) keyboard layout for Russian (or any Cyrillic) and is used not only by former USSR people but also in many American Universities - recommended by http://AATSEEL.org ********* Phonetic layout can be setup in 3 minutes (Windows offers to have several different layouts for any language, being it English or Russian) - below are the links to the instruction (same one) in Russian and in English: - in English: http://Phonetic.RusWin.net - in Russian: http://Phon.RusWin.net **** I doubt that you can buy such laptop – there is no demand, as you understand :) and thus no production…

People (hundred thousands of them really) from the former USSR all around the world use one of the following work-arounds to solve that problem:

1) They buy _stickers_ (those do exist even any type of keyboard), for example here:
http://webideas.com/russianstickers/

2) Many people choose another approach that lets them type Russian say at work on the desktop – without Russian keyboard and/or stickers -

they type "in Russian – as in English":

(a) with "RU" mode of system keybord all symbols – dot, comma, quotes, etc. – are typed the same way as they are typed while "EN" mode -
where they are drawn on _Latin_ keybord

(b) with "RU" mode, Russian letters are typed by using similar (phonetically) Latin letters:
A-A,O-O, E-E, K-K,…,Б-B, Д-D,Ф-F,…

It is called Phonetic (homophonic) keyboard layout for Russian (or any Cyrillic) and is used not only by former USSR people but also in many American Universities – recommended by http://AATSEEL.org

********* Phonetic layout can be setup in 3 minutes (Windows offers to have several different layouts for any language, being it English or Russian) -

below are the links to the instruction (same one) in Russian and in English:

- in Russian: http://Phon.RusWin.net
