I am will be leaving for Seoul next week and am curious if I should purchase a laptop here in the U.S before leaving. I have seen some fairly good deals in the last week.

Check the sticky above but in general yes. Prices are better, you'll won't make the mistake of walking out of the place with Korean XP installed, all the driver CDs will be in English, etc. As well, you can use the laptop on the plane and watch a DVD.

Make sure you bring all your install CDs with you too. It would be a real pain if you got a nasty virus and had to reinstall and didn't have all your CDs.
