    Hello,
    I am interested in buying a SONY notebook. I am planning a trip to japan and I wonder wether I could find better prices or stuff over there.
    Any ideas?
    Ackroyd.

    Don't know if the prices are better, but you'll find better configured systems....

    If you're buying, feel like bringing me back one of the VGN-FS70B with the WSXGA+ screen. [ :D]

    I'd love to get one of those, but can't seem to find anyone that imports them here.

    If you can read japanese, you may check www.kakaku.com which is a price comparison site in Japan.
    If you go to Tokyo, you would go to Akihabara where there are many electronics shops. Check http://www.akiba.or.jp/english/index.html

    Good luck.
