I am trying to decide on a laptop to buy; I want an English keyboard, with the big backspace key, no hangeul/hanja keys, etc. Which of course means I can't get such a machine here in Korea, and must get one sent here from abroad. So: what's the most efficient way these days to find/order/pay for an English-language laptop, international order?

LG and Samsung (and perhaps other Korean laptop makers) make laptops for the English market; if I learn about one I like, I might actually end up buying one .... is there any way to buy one of these made-for-foreign-market Korean laptops right here in Korea?

I have no idea, I'm still in America waiting to go over, but I would suggest trying amazon.com, or maybe ebay.com.

There's a customs tax if you're planning to ship it to korea anything that costs over 400 bucks. If you're planning to buy it and carry it over, you shouldn't have to pay anything extra.
