I am traveling in Seoul and my laptop died. Is there anywhere in Seoul where I could rent a laptop for a few weeks (Microsoft Windows or no OS)?

    This forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?p=918233 forum post suggests buying an older machine and that the price of such kills any short term rental market.

    If you rent one, how can you be sure that all of your personal data is totally wiped off when you return it?

    Well I shall not recommend it overtly, but how about purchasing it from MS Online Store and returning it before leaving? MS sets 4 weeks of a refundable period (and Apple has 2 weeks, FYI).

    @Blaszard definitely a common option (en.wikipedia.org/w/… : "In the United States, various abuses using the return process allegedly cost retailers more than $9 billion annually."). I believe returning items in South Korea in less common than in the US though, from what I have been told by locals.

You're unlikely to find a place to rent a laptop anywhere in the city, as that's not something most people are interested in. However it shouldn't be to hard to get a used laptop from the local Craigslist. Prices start from $100, depending on condition.
