Will the OS be in Korean? How easy is it to change to English? Can I download/steal Microsoft office or do I have to pay for it? Is office in Korean if I buy it here?

Thanks.

Language is super easy to switch!
No, office won't be included unless it's a trial version.

office is a paid product. but it's easy to get nefariously

if you buy a macbook in korea, you can switch the OS language to english very easily. also, if you don't want the korean keyboard, apple will switch out the keyboard (korea/english to just english) for free within the first 14 days of purchase. so if you buy it instore, just have them switch out the keyboard there (A/S). it takes a few days, but it's a good option if you don't need the korean keyboard.

Are you working as a teacher? Buying it online could be cheaper, however you need to do a bank wire transfer or credit card (both Korean only unfortunately) I've purchased 2 from the online store and it was great.

Office isn't that great- Expensive and Powerpoint isn't compatible with Windows. Download Open Office or LibreOffice.

Go the Hackintosh route and make your own Mac for a fraction of the cost. OSX can be found on all good torrent sites..
