What laptop should I buy in the UK to take with me to Japan?
The question says it all really - I am laptop stupid (been PC for over a decade) what should I buy to take with me to Japan - needed for watching dvds, listening to music, downloading a bit of TV, trasfering photos/video from camera to disc and internet. I have around £400 - If needs must £ wise happy to buy extra portable memory/storage and maybe a external re-writer once in Japan but want to get the computer here (prefer windows XP and want to make sure I have software so the system can recognise Japanese characters.) Can a smart tech person help out a silly not very tech person having to go to somewhere like PCWorld to ask for help :-(

Answer 1 :
Talk to a salesman and make sure your new laptop power supply will support 110, 60 cycles.. Most modern laptops have a power supply that will run 110, 60 cycles or 220, 50 cycles. The only requirement will be to purchase a plug adapter, which is really inexpensive.
