Korean Job Discussion Forums

Yonngsan is always hit or miss, Technomart is always a miss, the dpeartment stores are always carrying expensive Samsungs that cost a month's salary.

Anyway, given my recent PC problems, and that I'll be travelling soon, I was thinking that I need a laptop. Something with a good heap of RAM since I'm always working on large image files in Photoshop.

Anyone have any good experiences buying, or have any good leads on where to buy, decent laptops near the one million won mark? or do you know anyone who can customize one?

Browse online with a Korean friend. You can easily find offers on new laptops for under a million. I just got a Sony Vaio for 890,000. With an Epson printer/scanner thrown in. It's a bit underpowered though. But it has 1GB RAM.

What's your screen size on the viao? 10" or 12"?

The newer avartec's are around that price range, and look nice.

You might also try www.dell.co.kr and check out the Inspiron
640m line. Keep ram to the base offered, and buy it elsewhere after the sale. Maybe upgrade the hard drive, though.

Here are a few models to consider. Add some ram by yourself:
