This question is probably idiotic, I apologize in advance, but I've never bought a laptop outside of the US before so I have no idea what I'm doing.

If I buy this:

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=185748149&pos_shop_cd=EN&pos_class_cd=90000001&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=macbook+pro

(and yes I realize it is overpriced)

will the OS and keyboard and everything be in English or Korean?

Sorry. I'm a n00b. I know.

The Keyboard will be dual language and I expect the o/s will be in Korean I.

I didn't see an option to select an English O/S and it was made in China for the Korean market (no overseas shipping).

When you start up the computer it will ask you which language you want. English is one of the options.

hi. i bought one through Apple.com
they have offices in Seoul and delivery is quick. you can discuss any questions with them in english and they may offer you a nice discount if you're a teacher. ask them all these and others if you're still not sure.

good luck

R.

p.s: here's their number: 080-330-8877.
