I need help with getting my boyfriend a laptop before he deploys to Japan.?
He's in the marine corps and is leaving on May 20th. I really can't afford anything too expensive but I was wondering if there was anything I needed to know about purchasing a laptop. I really would just like to make sure he is able to connect to the internet in Japan and it has high speed and a webcam. I was looking at one on Dell that would have been about $700 and I really would not like to spend more than $800 unless it's absolutlely necessary. He will be traveling alot during the next few years, he'll be over in the middle east at some point and around Thailand also. Thanks so much to anyone who can help me! I'm definitely going to buy him one no matter what. I just need to know if there is anything inparticular I need to make sure of when buying the laptop to make sure he is able to use is. make sure he is able to use it** and he is able to connect to the internet and have a fast connection.

Answer 1 :
why don't you try buying one off craigslist.com, ebay.com or even try going to your local best buy store. their prices are great. Im pretty sure one of those places sells laptops $200 or more. I wish you luck :)
Answer 2 :
Don't buy one. He will have to pack it and protect it while traveling. Once he gets to Japan he can use a public access computer or buy one there - much cheaper.
Answer 3 :
What a Lucky Guy~! A sturdy & solid laptop with high speed wired, wireless, bluetooth connection and a high clarity webcam as priority, should include - 56Kbps Modem - Up to 300 Mbps 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN - Bluetooth 2.1 - WIFI 802.11b/g/n - 2.0 MegaPixel Webcam Also look for a laptop with LED Display (it consumes less power meaning longer battery life, brighter, does not dim over time) and a Core i3 (its faster than AMD & core 2 duo). You should consider HP ProBook 4520s or Dell Vostro 3500, these are their business class laptops that are made to last. Both of them have aluminum chassis which are more durable than plastic and they don't look like a kids toy. Comparing the two, i would recommend HP ProBook 4520s over Dell Vostro solely for its better build quality & attention to detail. http://bit.ly/hp_probook_4520s (with bing cashback $647) To get the Bing Cashback Discount: 1) - Visit above site, to check for availability (make sure it says "Ships within 24 Hours") 2) - Sign up for cashback account https://cashbackaccount.bing.com/cashback/summary.aspx 3) - Go here http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=HP+ProBook+4520s&go=&form=QBRE&scope=cashback Click on the "cashback" word directly bellow (TigerDirect.com) 4) - Put in the same email as you created the account with & image text > click "shop and get cashback" 5) - Make your purchase as normal, after you complete your purchase you'll be able to log into your Bing account and see pending cashback which you'll be able to claim in 60 days. *note Kindly make sure you make you purchase through the same page as the Bing Cashback signup screen, so that bing can acknowledge your transaction

Answer 1 :
First try windows updates, they are pretty good at finding drivers. If you are still missing some, open up your hardware manager and search the internet for each individual device by model name provided in hardware manager. Good Luck.
Answer 2 :
Dude, that thing doesn't even really like exist, where did you get it? well, anyway, what exact drivers are you looking for? EDIT: that can be a hard one to find. try and see what kind of drivers she has on her pc right now. Just go to control panel- hardware and sound-device manager and see all the drivers. the only drivers you will need is probably the graphic card and bluetooth or wifi drivers. the rest will be already working like RAM, CPU,BIOS,etc.
Answer 3 :

Where can I find drivers for a Sony Vaio PCG-6D1N
Where can I find drivers for a Sony Vaio PCG-6D1N?
I bought my laptop in Japan but lost the driver disks. The model: pcg-6d1n I tried searching all over the web but most sites are in Japanese and I can't seem to find the right drivers anywhere. All help is appreciated if you are able to point me in the right direction. Need ethernet, and video drivers. Please don't say: go to English web page and search for them because I've tried that and they will not support Japanese products.

Turns out your notebook goes by the product name Sony VAIO VGN-S91PS. Give that a search and hope it comes up with the correct drivers

Answer 1 :
For the most part, no. Fewer electronics are being made in Japan except for higher end stuff. Much of it is now made in China, Thailand & Indonesia. Even Nikon cameras ! My Toshiba lap top was made in China. The reason for this is costs. People are paid very poorly in these third-world countries. Not sure about India, but they have to import these items as well. Although I'm sure business costs are cheaper in India than Japan.
Answer 2 :
Given the exchange rate between Yen and Rupee, we can say that everything in Japan is more expensive than those in India
