Yeah whats the best way to go about getting english on a samsung series 9 ultrabook?
Those are extremely sexy machines but samsung only puts windows korean on it
No language option on boot up

Its a pain in the neck even after paying over 1.5million for one

Was looking forward to buying the series 9 in Korea but after the last comment think it's a no go. Sucks because I've since discovered that you can get the 9 in korea with a 256 ssd and i7. I don't need the i7 but the extra storage space would be really nice.

I'm not positive, but don't think you can find a series 9 with 256gb back home. Anyone know?

Eventhough it has korean windows Im still tempted to pick it up as long as i can get english windows onto it. I have a copy but im wondering if doing a total cleam windows install will i lose some features etc. compared to running it on korean windows??

Macbook Airs are about the same price as the Series 9 and you can change the language very easily in OS X. Might be worth considering.
