lucky your wife is such a savvy shopper.
Import taxes in this country are pretty stupid for eletronic devices, but I can’t see taxes, duties and other charges coming even close to 7x the UK price. You’ll see almost the same thing with computers, though. Most notebooks in this country are twice as expensive as the same models you’d find in Canada. Aside from the Japanese keyboard, there is no difference.
When my wife and I go to Canada next year, we plan on getting some new notebooks and bringing them back. Why pay $2000 for a “new” machine with yester-year’s technology in Japan when you can pay $3000 for two really nice notebooks from Canada with the latest and greatest advances?
That said, it’s great to see that your wife doesn’t buy into such things so quickly. I have plenty of family that have been duped into buying these “not in stores” products only to find out later the reason they’re not in stores is because nobody would pay such a ridiculous price when an equivalent or superior model is less than a metre away and 7x cheaper 😛
I’ve always avoided notebooks because of the price. I just don’t see why you’d spend 2-3 grand (in Japan) on something only half as powerful as much cheaper desktop. Very few Japanese people actually take their computers with them when they go out anyway!
Wow, I thought laptops were cheaper in Japan than in Canada.. Crazy… but yeah I love my desktop… sure Im in arizona now and am missing the net since i have to go to public places to use it, but i love all the affordability and power my desktop provides..
The other thing Id like to say about this article is God bless the Internet.. although it makes me mad that inevitably some less internet savy Japanese are going to get screwed on this deal…
Hey by the way Nick, I’ve seen tonnes of Ron Paul signs on the road here in America! Im serious! Well maybe not tonnes but I have seen like at least 5 signs along the 2500 km trek down here… I have not seen signs for any other candidates… Go Ron Paul!
My sister-in-law got scammed, and paid 400k yen or so for one of those EagleJets.
That wasn’t the end of it. A couple of years ago she was talked into buying a whopping 1,000,000 yen futon set, and as far as I know she still pays for the installment 😉
