Would there be any big problems with bringing in my laptop, which I bought in Korea and using it in HK? I don't want to be stuck with a paperweight. Smile

The only thing you need to think about is the power supply. As long as you've got an adaptor that can convert the Korean plug to a HK one then you should be fine.
There should be no software issues. Except maybe the dvd region setting, if it has dvd capabilities. But most HK dvd discs are region free anyway...

The adapter should be easy to find in HK, hey? Smile

Sadly, I don't have a DVD player in my computer...

Thanks for the help! Very Happy

Yup, you'll have no problems finding an adapter; most electrical shops will have one.

Or your brand of computer may sell power supplies for different countries through their website. It's probably worth taking a look.
Hopes this helps! Mr. Green
