I want to buy a Macbook.

Has anyone bought one lately in any of these places?

I don't want any Korean on my Macbook. Has anyone found a retailer who speaks good English and can organise these things for me?

pm if you can help

cheers


I might decide on a PC for price reasons - same questions re PCs

Do you mean you want no Korean / Hangul lettering on the keyboard, or you don't want the OS to be in Korean?

Any Mac you buy in Korea is almost guaranteed to have Hangul & English lettering on the keys. I doubt there's a way around that.

The OS itself though is easily switchable between English, Korean, or just about any other language you could want.

Choose the macbook! They are great computers that offer a lot at that price point. In Canada/USA they offer roughly 10% discounts for students and teachhers and are now offering a free 4gb nano with any mac purchase. Other than the LED screen, video card and slightly higher processors there is little upgrade from mb pro. Macbooks are great computers.
