Hi, I am travelling to Japan for a year in October (working holiday visa)... I am planning on getting a Laptop for the trip, however i am not sure if it would be better for me to buy in Japan or England bearing in mind Price and technology.

Do the Japanese laptops have Roman Letters aswell as...(what do they use for computers..katakana?). Being A Japanese laptop may have advantages later on as i wish to do a Degree in Japanese...but there maybe issues arise with Driver Compatability/DVD compatibility etc.

Obviously getting a laptop in England will be easier...but will it be cheaper to buy in Japan or are there just too many possible problems when bringing it back to the UK compatability wise.

If anyone has any experience in this matter please let me know, ive searched the net but find it hard to find anything useful! Thanks for any help,

Sam
