go into the bios... and set it up for english then you can load what software o/s you need to install though you may need to change the bios.. go to NEC web site and look for support click on that, and contact the service department for instructions if you have not got a english manual for the computer.you may be able to download it .

Do you live in Japan? please help with Toshiba Laptop Prices

Do you live in Japan? please help with Toshiba Laptop Prices.?
OK so I want to buy a Toshiba laptop. like a Satellite L675-S7048 (It is the 17.3" monitor model with i3 processor) USA Price is USD$699.99 or about NZD$945 I am in New Zealand where the same laptop sells for NZD$1450 or USD$1075 (Side note New Zealand has no import duties on electrical goods, so my best guess is it is a size of the market issue) So back to my question, my brother is going to Japan and I was wondering are the prices in Japan similar to those in USA or cheaper. because it is made there? Also would it be available there with an English keyboard? Please let me know any info if you know first hand. @ Al thanks for your answer. That USA price was straight off the Toshiba USA website. The thing with shipping is Amazon traders and Toshiba both will not ship the laptop to an out of USA postal address. That is why I am considering the Japan option with my brother traveling there.

Answer 1 :
Prices in Japan tend to be worse than the US, even for electronics manufactured in Japan. Plus, you aren't even going to find the exact model you want in Japan as they sell laptops with Japanese OS and Japanese keyboards which will be a different model number (and probably not very useful for you). Is the $699.99 with shipping to NZ? I see them for closer to $600 in the US.
Answer 2 :
Here's a Google shopping search of Toshiba notebook computers http://www.google.co.jp/products?q=toshiba+%E3%83%8E%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%96%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF&hl=ja&aq=0r&oq=toshiba+%E3%81%AE%E3%83%BC The model number you listed does not appear to exist in Japan, since I got no results found when I plugged them in. By the way, this is what a Japanese computer keyboard looks like: http://store.aramedia.com/shopimages/products/normal/kb-japaneseblack.jpg
Answer 3 :
I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you can read japanese. because all of the programs that are built in the computer are in japanese. but back to you question, sometimes the prices are better, sometimes they are worse. but you will always find the newer electronics here before you will any where else.
Answer 4 :
You might find a model with an English OS and keyboard in a duty free shop or some specialty shop, but it isn't going to be an easy go. You should also keep in my the warranty issue. Make sure that the warranty is going to be valid in NZ, otherwise you could end up with either hefty shipping costs or an expensive paperweight.
Answer 5 :
My advice: don't do it. The OS will be in Japanese. The warranty may only be valid in Japan. Even if the warranty is international the warranty will be void if you reinstall the OS to be in English. So yeah unless you can read Japanese don't bother. Either import from the US or just pay the local price

Answer 1 :
justin.tv, nfl is on to this website and closes down some games, but most of the time nfl games are broadcasted.
Answer 2 :
Go to watch-football-now.com. They have options. I bought it and it's ok, not great but ok. You can also buy an NFL Playoff Pass for $55 and get all playoff games except the super bowl.
Answer 3 :
NFL Sunday Ticket. lol idk you live there you should know
Answer 4 :
open your eyes.
Answer 5 :
Go to NFL.com,they should have a link on how to watch it. I lived there and they would show the games (a Sunday game on Thursday night) throughout the week, kind of sucked, I had to avoid the internet or I might have seen the score. Playoffs and SuperBowl were real time though, I thought I watched it on NHK, but that was a long time ago, so I forget.
Answer 6 :
It might be on tv there. I watched the Superbowl in Singapore when I was in the military.
Answer 7 :
have never tried it but try espn360.com..they always talk about live games.
Answer 8 :
Go to http://football.sports-tv-online.com Watch football games online.
