How to make Chinese characters on a HongKong-bought Dell laptop be converted to English

How to make Chinese characters on a HongKong-bought Dell laptop be converted to English?
Hi guys! My in-laws are from here in Manila as well but when they visited HongKong, a family member gave us their "used" Dell notebook. It's a DELL INSPIRON - with Chinese characters! How do I go about converting it to English? Thanks!

Id say Beijing, China. Thailands laptops arent very reliable. Everythings made in china anywayy my dads bought a few cheapies out in Beijing and their great!
2 :
Definitely not Thailand, although prices have come down recently (like everywhere else) computers are expensive in Thailand due to high import tariffs. Singapore and Hong Kong are both duty free ports and have better prices and better selection. Check out Wanchai Computer City or the Mongkok Computer Centre in HK or Sim Lim Square in Singapore.

I've seen Acer laptops for sale at Tesco Lotus stores for 13,000 baht-368.723 USD

Is a flexidrive (6xSDcard slot) as good as an SSD drive

Is a flexidrive (6xSDcard slot) as good as an SSD drive?
I came across something odd called a Sharkoon SSD Flexi-drive, wich apparently is a flexible way of making an SSD drive, letting you use SD(HD) cards in raid behind a SATA controller, making it seem like the ultimate cheapskate way to make your laptop/netbook shakeproof. ;) Like this: http://www.databyte.nl/foto.asp?img=\productinformatie\illustraties\Harddisken\sharkoon_flexi-drive_s2s_4.jpg Has anyone got a clue at how reliable this stuff is? Is it fast? Will it last me more then a week when I bully it with for instance games and movies? It doesnt seem very feasible to me, but im checking it with you guys before taking the bait and buying a sack fo cheap 8GB SSD cards from hongkong. :P
