"Make sure you include Google Docs on your list. That, along with a lot of other Google services, makes for a valuable but free virtual work application."

Perhaps there are probably some obvious answers here, but I'm hoping to open up some kind of a resource where people can turn to when questioning the huge variety of websites and web based applications currently available.I use Linkedin (the best by far), twitter (which has a fine purpose but is far too distracting), evernote, and dropbox. i have also started using a bookmarklet/firefox add-on called 'read it later' which is useful if you come across a lot of very worthwhile articles on the…See More

"See how much more popular you'd become with an iPad!? :)"

"Actually was in a bookshop today in Suwon and they had Ipads with keyboards but there were too many kids more amazed by it than I was by them, so I didn't get a chance to try it out."

"Definitely good to check them out. Make sure to check out the MacBook Air and iPad, too. "

"Didn't know there was an ipad 3 on the way. Well I'll wait until then before I make any decisions. Actually, I'm still sold on the actual laptop idea. If I got an ipad it would be after the computer. I'm actually going to spend a…"

"The Chromebooks are not very good due to being limited to using the Chrome OS. You'd be better off with an iPad. There's a reason the iPad is such a big hit :)"

Philipp Grunwald replied to Conor O'Reilly's discussion Buying a New Laptop in Korea

"Another recommendation I just remembered, as we're already talking about Netbooks and iPads. How about a cheap Google Chromebook from Samsung or Acer? See in Korean here and in English here."

Philipp Grunwald replied to Conor O'Reilly's discussion Buying a New Laptop in Korea

"Ok, that are actually good arguments! But my opinion is, I couldn't or wouldn't want to do it! Without a proper OS, everything is for the waste. Even if you install the new ICS or Cyanogenmod 9. And after all if you lack Wifi, it will all…"

Carl Kwan replied to Conor O'Reilly's discussion Buying a New Laptop in Korea

"Netbooks don't have the battery life of an iPad and the trackpads are pretty useless when compared to a touch interface like the iPad. The iPad gets 10 hours of battery life no matter what you do. Also, the screens on netbooks are so small and…"

I FULLY understand & am in the same boat (re: getting swallowed in other stuff) -I'm about to rarely get on-line M to F (starting on Monday 02/14) ...so no worries!

Let's aim for a meet-up when the weather finally decides to warm up.

No worries ~I'm still not fully "into my groove" yet, either ^.~ ...my "area" is more counseling consulting ...I'm not a language educator -not by any stretch of the imagination^.~ ...my MA in tesol was psycho-linguistics focused ^.^ ...I would love to share experiences & ideas with you! Do you ever venture into Seoul on weekends?
