@ key
Hi All
Bought a new Dell Inspiron laptop. Discovered the 2/@ key doesn't work the way it should! If I want the @ symbol and use this key it gives me the " symbol and vice versa. Have I selected a language setup wrongly - or is this a genuine problem with the laptop?

Sounds like your system has a USA layout keyboard fitted but the Windows keyboard type is set to UK. Some other keys such as "#" will be in different places.
Sometimes folks in the UK use US keyboards to repair systems as they are cheaper.
Is this system new from Dell?
