Should I buy a computer in Korea or at home?
Here is my reply to this question from one of our clients:
Generally, computers are pretty close in price and not too big of a
difference. In regular shops, the Windows is in Korean. However, you can
get that changed at some shops in Itaewon in Seoul, and perhaps some other
places.
What I would suggest (what I have) is to get a laptop. There are some
competitively priced options available that will likely cause you less
stress than your current computer. You'll have everything in English,
you'll be able to bring it wherever you go, and you can get Nespot
internet service in Korea and be able to access the net from just about
any major restaurant, coffee shop, train station and other place in
Korea...so, if you are doing some travel throughout the country, you'll be
able to bring your laptop and stay in touch, update your blog, send pics
home, video Skype with family from some McDonalds in Busan at 3 am (oh,
wait, that was me!)
