Hi folks,

Need to buy a laptop. Just wondering if it is possible to buy a laptop that has an English OS?

If so, where? Techno Mart?

Thanks.

I bought a new samsung laptop in the Gyangbyeon techno mart, took a Korean friend with me and she ensured windows was running in English. No extra charge, though microsoft office is all in Korean, so you might need to ask for them to set that up too.

Hey,

Thanks for that.

Went to that Techno Mart since I first posted and was shocked at the prices. So much more expensive than Ireland.

Will probably hang on to my old laptop for another while.

Unless anyone knows where I can get a laptop for cheaper than 600,000W?

You can get one for that price at Youngsan's Sun-in building. Enter at the front. Choose the right of the 2 entrances.

Or ask a Korean to help you around this price comparo site:
