| Can anyone confirm if there is a HP Showroom at COEX Mall or anywhere near that proximity? I want to check out some of their notebooks and want to go where they have a good selection on show. |

Yes, there is.
Are you planning on buying an HP/Compaq computer? DON'T... they are crap. If you really must buy a factory built computer, get a DELL, which will also be able to supply you with an English copy of windows and a valid international warranty.
Otherwise, get a computer built for you at any of the smaller computer shops (yongsan outlets included), and set aside some money for buying an English operating system. |

I've been OK with my HP computer. The biggest complaint I had was with the tons of adware they install on the computer when you buy it.
You can get an HP a lot cheaper outside of Korea. I can get the same computer from CompUSA for $799 (after rebates) that I can in Korea for almost $500 more.
Dell is a strong company, but HP's new screens and models look pretty cool. |

Thanks again. Yes, I was looking to buy a HP notebook. My budget is KRW 1.3 million and want one which will weigh less than 2kgs and runs on Vista. It will be used mainly for work (MS office & email), watching movies and listening to music. Any recommendations on models and best place to buy would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. |

There is a Compaq model which fits those specs, but you'll have to go with one that has a slower chip to match your price range. I've seen them with slower chips. I wouldn't go less than a Core2Duo at 1.6, though. This one is 1.83. Maybe at 1.6, the price would just be about where you want. They are nice little machines. I have seen them in person. Very compact and light enough:
