Do laptops bought in Japan work in the US

Do laptops bought in Japan work in the US?
I'm going to Japan soon. I was wondering if I decide to buy a laptop there, whether or not it will work here. And I mean will it work with our electric current since it's different in Japan. Or do I have to justbuy one and some special adapter thing? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1 :
most laptop computers come with auto sensing ac adpaters, but you are right, the outlet cord may be different. check with the manufacturer to make sure you can get one for the US and one for Japan. Also make sure that settings such as language, currency, dictionairies, and dvd playback settings are set up for US market, especially the dvd settings. They can cause the DVD to be worthless, if not set correctly. Also look at the exchange rate, it may be cheaper to buy the laptop here than in Japan. even though a buck buys 1.18 in japan, there may be special taxes and duties that you will have to pay when you bring into this country
Answer 2 :
yep... so ur very luky i want to go to japan lol srry good luck!
Answer 3 :
Most OS is Japanese OS. And keyboard layout is for Japanese method. Don't worry about adopter. It is usually 100-240V. Wireless standard is also same. If you are going to buy Winows Vista, buy Ultimate edition. Ultimate can switch the Japanese menu to English

Does anyone know of any superior laptops in Japan

Does anyone know of any superior laptops in Japan?
I'm going to Japan in a couple of weeks and I wanted a new laptop for my trip, but I figure the laptops there are MUCH better. Where would I check (website) to see what laptops are already out over there? And does anyone know any other cool electronics that are out over there that won't be out here in the states? So you're all saying that Macbooks are far superior than the laptops in japan? I might as well just stay here and buy a laptop

Answer 1 :
They have alot of great laptops but most can be bought in the States (maybe for a little more money...). But yeah. Get a Mac. The PowerBook is great. Macs are usually better than Windows and Dells, but of course, more expensive. There's also a super thin on...MacBook Air.
Answer 2 :
I'd say MacBook! World wide warranty, which means that if your laptop breaks during the flight, your guaranteed free repair in japan. It's easy, safe and awesome. (Use student rebates, even if you're not a student) Dell is good, the cheapest is good. Although, I'm not sure on the battery life. Dell sucks at warranty.
Answer 3 :
Apples are far superior than anything currently out on the market. The reason is because of it's superior operating system that outfeatures Linux and outperforms Windows 10 to 1

Answer 1 :
They may be cheaper, but you get what you pay for.....
Answer 2 :
the difference in price isn't that different in most places. But... you can get some great deals in ikiabara (electric town). It woulden't be too difficult to change the language settings but you would run into trouble with different software codes etc.
Answer 3 :
Don't forget to consider that the power cord plugins might be different and you would have to use an adapter in the States.
Answer 4 :
Not really...I bought a Laptop in Japan before coming to America with my husband, and it was quite expensive for an "ok" computer...I was very much surprised by the prices in America! They are much cheaper here! if you were to try to buy an HP or a Sony over in Japan, the would be almost 2000 American dollars, but here you can get them for under 1000! Plus most people from america don't like Japan computers because we do not have the normal keyboard (QWERTY i think you call it) instead we have a keyboard that is set up for Hiragana and only has English as a secondary function. the power cord is the same here as in Japan!
Answer 5 :
NO! DON'T BUY A COMPUTER IN JAPAN!!! I came in exchange here without computer, because here the prices are cheaper compared to my country and guess what? All the laps systems come in Japanese, so If you are good in language maybe it wont bother you having your all your windows system in kanjis (all). Just think what goes if the computer is bad? how you are going to use your guarantee back in home?. Don't buy a headache and buy something back at your home (like I should have done)
