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!

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

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.
