So my Macbook is kind of falling apart because I like to abuse my computers. I'm kind of a slob like that. Embarassed

So in a few months I'll probably be looking to buy a new computer, preferably a laptop.

A few questions:

Is it a good idea to buy an Acer, or is that generally a poor-performing brand?
What about an LG?
Will the OS be permanently in Korean, or can I change the OS to English?
What's the average price for a good laptop here?

Actually, I have a similar question about buying a Wii here. Can you change the prompts on the Wii to English?

Thanks for answering. Smile

Go with HP/Compaq.

Strong service presence in Korea, and good prices on average.

They can usually load English for you (although I think language is selectable in Windows 7 at initial install).
