if you get one in america it will be formatted like a typical computer you would see. when i went to japan there was a difference in the keyboards, but nothing too much. so whichver you feel more comfortable with you should go for. also i think you can get a cheaper computer in america. more bang for the buck too.
Answer 3 :
all laptops are made in japan and they are cheaper and new models are released quickly
Answer 4 :
I'd guess 99% of all lap tops are made in China. My Toshiba is made in China! I think some Fijitsu computers maybe made in Japan. They will cost more in Japan.I think the software will also be different for US / Japanese computers. Quality will be exactly the same.
Answer 5 :
Since you are going to study in Japan, you'd better buy Japanese laptop with Japanese letter-writing function. Don't worry! Japanese PC is perfectly capable of writing English as well. You can buy them in Japan at about 30,000 yen or 325 USD. Japanese laptops are best in the world.
Answer 6 :
Japanese machine has different KEY allotment. Othewise it depends customer's own taste. Yen is stronger than before now and ongoing so price comparison in US$ for future is quite difficult unless you have enough Yen already. Qualtiy? Not big difference. Japanese and American both ones are actually made in China now.
Answer 7 :
Generally they are 20-30% more expensive in Japan (compared to the US price) unless you manage to find a special sale. There are some unique models which are available only in Japan though. The keyboard, software, and warranties will all be in Japanese
