I’m only selling it because I have another, and I’m moving out of Japan soon. Computer has never been dropped or mishandled.
Pick it up for free near Takadanobaba or Waseda University.
Minor wear on outer casing. No dents, chips, etc.
If you are not used to a Japanese keyboard then you will love the above keyboard compared to a Japanese one. The space bar is where you expect it be so you won’t be accidentally switching into Japanese all the time when you want to hit space. If you’ve tried a Japanese keyboard, you know what I’m talking about. Finding a non-Japanese keyboard in Japan is not easy. You will be glad you have this non-Japanese keyboard instead.
If you import a laptop from the USA (or other countries) to Japan, by purchasing it on ebay, etc., not only will you have to pay shipping (usually about 10,000 yen) but you will also get hit with tax on the import (5,000 to 10,000 yen depending on the computer).
The screen is in great shape. No missing pixels, faded regions, etc. The above picture isn’t great with the glare, but you will be happy with this display.
Even though this notebook is a few years old, I have only used it while traveling so its use has been limited to less than a year.
There are no sticky keys. The battery functions perfectly as does the hard drive, RAM, etc. The power cord is two pronged (not three) and can be plugged into any power outlet in Japan without an adapter.
I have seen many used Toshiba laptops in Tokyo for 40,000 yen or more with less RAM (usually only 500 MB), less hard disk space, and smaller screens. I have priced this one very fairly at 25,000 yen. Please don’t email me with offers for less. 25,000 yen is the price.
Thank you!
