I am putting out feelers for offers. I am not desperate to sell--just considering migrating to a desktop.

Price is 1,500,000 Won

Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
MacBook Pro
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz

2 GB of memory
ATI Radeon X1600 256 MB
93 GB S-ATA Hard Disk
Mac Super Drive

Screen is flawless. A small warp on the casing. I can include an OS X Leopard disk and charger. The battery charge doesn't last very long, but it runs fine off the powercord. Send a PM if interested.

A pre-emptive thanks to Spliff.

Hey Scaggs, I just got a MacBook Pro myself. How do you plug yours in in Korea?

Not sure if this is just for the new models, but my powercord has two options: a three-prong plug (recommended, so you're grounded), or a two-prong plug. Is the two-prong plug (with the 500W adaptor) okay?

I can't see any way that the three-prong could be used anyway, as Korea only has two-prong sockets. What do people with three prong plugs do (Dell users for example)?

Here is a pic of what I'm talking about:

Mine is from the US. All you need is an adapter that basically changes the shape of your plug. Most notebooks, Macs included, have a wide range of acceptable currents so that they travel easily. It should list it on the Apple power adapter ... mine is 100-240 V. I think Korean outlets run at 220V.

For other appliances that can't handle a range, you need a larger transformer that can convert the current on its own. They cost like 30,000 won and also use a little juice up on their own.

whoops, I didn't look closely at the pic before I posted it (I got it off google images). I've got the US/Canada kind of plug.

That's cool, glad to hear. I've already got a plug adaptor just like the one in that pic.

Thanks and good luck with the sale.
