|
|
I'm going to Suwon in about two weeks to spend the fall semester there as an exchange student. A computer nerd as I am, I wouldn't dream about not having some kind of computer in my room, therefore I'm thinking of buying a laptop in Korea. I'm looking at a Toshiba Satellite Pro M30. Over here in Sweden they're about 1 875 000 excl. VAT. The only thing I'm worried about buying it in Korea, is that I intend to buy it through my company, which means I don't have to pay the VAT. My questions to you is:
1. Is the M30 any good?
2. Is the laptop any cheaper in Korea than in Sweden?
3. Will it be worth the hassle (which I'm sure it will be) to get the VAT deducted from the price in Korea? Maybe someone has tried this before.
Cheers
