[ HANSUNG COMPUTER ]

HanSung in the most traditional Korean sense translates into royal Korean castle, although their website would like to interpret as a single planetary star – possible for older Korean terms are based on Chinese characters, each with deep meaning . HanSung Computer is a rather NEW local company formed in 2008, to surprise every computer enthusiast with powerful laptops which are only called notebooks in South Korea Post-Millennium, at inconceivably low price ! their main strong-point were larger-screen 15″ and 17″ laptops (which you would have to call it, still called notebooks in South Korea) and now sell negligible line of tablets . now-and-then they peak into 14″ portable business models, and now offering again much powerful AND affordable line BUT thin AND light !

they mostly order OR import machines from China and should be had for its price ONLY, for a couple of cons understandably exist :

  1. the exterior facade is anti-Apple . i.e., it looks cheap . but once gotten used-to, bears more amicable connotation as softer ‘plastic’ as opposed to Apple’s metalic,
  2. although NOT non-existent, horror stories abound of refunds and/or exchanges,
  3. and they have a single support center at YongSan Electronics Market in all of Korea – but accessible as they are closer to subway stations than YongSan Electronics Market .

 

[ HANSUNG COMPUTER OFFICE AND SUPPORT CENTER LOCATION ] 

just last Novemer 17~19th they have returned to YongSan from the modest hardware (as in mechanics) district of BuCheon, far West of the Capital well-towards inCheon . now in an old hardware neighborhood just North of YongSan Electronics Market, and closer to the subway, as YongSan Electronics Market itself is loosely between subway stations .

  • YongSan KTX bullet Train Station AND Seoul Subway Line 1 YongSan Station Exit 3 will connect you to Bus (used to be) Terminal Market building where Sambo TG (computers & notebooks), HT (cell phone), HP (computer/laptop/printers) and Fujitsu (notebooks and hard disk drives) support centers are located, and a stroll through the bustling (even during recession) YongSan Electronics Market North-ward,
  • Seoul Subway Line 6 (Yes, from iTaewon 😉 HyoChang Park Station – this is one subway station East of GongDok where Airport Express Train stops – Exit 3 and walk 2 large blocks to turn Right on the next large motor-crossing, and is about the second building to your Left,
