Brand name computers are not much cheaper in Korea than they are in the US and Canada. I can't comment on the UK or SA or NZ but they are a good deal cheaper than in Australia. If you're looking for a REAL deal, inexpensive clones can be picked up quite cheaply in the electronics market near Yongsan in Seoul.
It is very important to keep in mind that if you buy a computer in Korea it is going to come with a Korean operating system, and unless you are fluent in Korean, you are pretty much stuck if anything goes wrong and error messages start popping up in Korean. When buying the computer you can specifically ask that the English version of Windows be loaded on it.
If you choose to bring a computer from home make sure it can handle the power supply. Older computers will need a converter while newer computers have built in power converters. Virtually all laptops, unless you have a very ancient one, can accept 110-240. Check the power cord - the box/rectangular thingy should have a bunch of numbers on it. Look at the volts.

“Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
