it is impressive LG Electronics’ hit laptop last year, which is over-all called notebook in South Korea still holds a full year there-after . so-much-so that retailer have played the pricing game and you had to wait a couple of Months for it to be delivered, as the best price can be had On-Line over the Peninsula . that was on intel’s SkyLake platform which can be enjoyed in Windows 7, the dear Operating Sytem most used here still . its successor is now introduced and is mere one-step upgrade but lays on top of the new Kaby Lake platform which does not accept any OS but Windows 10, which is not reason enough to buy a new laptop or notebook . forget it if you need regular access to Korean business and legal administrative access, as Official webpages and documents are notorious in limiting all to Korean counterpart of Microsoft Office and Windows 7 with older internet Explorer, aughhh
note Korea Tech BLog’s selection on the wide variety of laptops or notebooks during mid-decade Post-Millennium are mostly those with fast SSD, paired with supporting HDD for ample file-space and affordability . so all selections below have two DD slots for both and two each on similar release dates differ only on screen resolution : order in over-all popularity as of January 2017
more-over LG is the only way to go for years, if you’re looking for affordable yet light, sufficiently powerful and quite stylish machine with dependable support warranty from local conglomerate //
