Answer 1 :
In Japan, they use Yen (I think) Which is more than US dollars.
Answer 2 :
I guess so....... Anyway, check and compare the price rates on the internet. I also have that impression because the Japanese are great in electronic stuff ;) When you get there, try to look around... Still usable TVs and other electrical/electronic equipment are thrown away because it is so easy and cheap to purchase new stuff..... Have a great time in Japan........
Answer 3 :
Take a look at this http://tinyurl.com/y7jgsh Talk about cheaper and more convenient .
Answer 4 :
Don't buy in Japan. Most models are in Japanese version of Windows. If you are expat in Japan, you can order BTO (built to orer) model of the HP, Toshiba, Lenovo, DELL in English WIndows, etc. Yes it is little cheaper than US. (just a bit though)

would installing a game to my laptops hard drive give it longer battery life over one running from cd
would installing a game to my laptops hard drive give it longer battery life over one running from cd?
going to Japan and I know my laptop battery wont last the trip but which will allow the battery to last longer? running a game from the hard drive of the laptop or running a game from a cd in the cd drive of the laptop? does the same apply to movies? would shutting off the wifi capabilities of the laptop while in flight extend battery life? i know for my phone it says that turning off wifi can extend battery life. i know screen brightness and temperature has to do with battery life.

Answer 1 :
All things contribute to longer battery life (mostly brightness and processing power ussage). So the less processes you have the less batery power you should use. Not sure about the cd but you can give it a shot though i doubt that it would give you a lot more battery power (maybe a couple of minutes)
Answer 2 :
Yes running from hardrive will consume less power than from cd. yes same applies to movies, yes turning off wifi will extend battery life. How much it will extend your battery life may only be maginal but there will be power savings.
Answer 3 :
running a game from the hard drive of the laptop!same to the movies!
Answer 4 :
I really will not matter much, except that your hard drive is faster at running data than a CD. Either ways the information has to go to RAM and be stored on the Hard Drive, so I do not see any significant reason why playing a game or running any sort of heavy process would consume less memory on a CD than a Hard Drive. It is possible to argue that since the Hard Drive runs faster than a CD, you will get more out of your battery life through it than with a CD, but other than that I really am not sure of what difference there could really be. I could be wrong, but I hope this helps

Do I need an electrical plug adaptor for my American laptop in Japan
Do I need an electrical plug adaptor for my American laptop in Japan?
I think the plugs are different. If so, where in Tokyo or at the airport should I buy a plug adaptor??

Answer 1 :
yes you can get them at the air port or before you leave you can get one at walmart
Answer 2 :
Yes!! Not only is the plug different the volts and amps are as well. Try a major eletronics store they should have it!!
Answer 3 :
No you do not need an adaptor. Most laptops accept 100 - 240 volts. The plug shape is the same as in the USA, so no adaptor needed.
Answer 4 :
Based on the attached international plug chart, it appears that Japan uses the same plug configuration as the US, and a slightly different voltage (100V 50Hz). Most laptops have a full 100-240V voltage input range, so you probably don't need anything. Look on your laptop plug transformer to be sure.
Answer 5 :
You can buy plug adapters in places like Best Buy. They shouldn't be that expensive. Look for one with two straight, even prongs, and check the packaging to make sure it lists Japan as a place where you can use the adapter
