Hi! It’s Sensei.
“PCs in Japan are so expensive! I want to buy one cheaper!”
“I want to play PC games (like VALORANT or LoL) with my friends in the dormitory!”
Are you looking for cheap used PCs on Facebook or Mercari (メルカリ)?
Wait a minute! That’s dangerous.
When you buy from individuals, there are many troubles like “breaks immediately,” “contains viruses,” or “the battery is dead.”
Today, I (Sensei) will teach you how to buy a “Professional-refurbished safe PC” at a “Super cheap price (Gekiyasu / 激安)” (under 50,000 yen).
⚠️ Don’t buy on Facebook or Mercari!
Even if it says “Gaming PC High Spec Cheap,” the inside might be 10-year-old junk (Gomi / ゴミ).
Even for a Japanese Sensei, it’s difficult to distinguish a good PC in private sales.
Beginners should always buy at a “Specialty Shop (Senmon-ten / 専門店).”
At a specialty shop, a “Warranty (Hosho / 保証)” is included, so they will exchange it for you if it breaks.
Top 2 Recommended Used PC Shops
I (Sensei) have carefully selected famous Japanese shops that are “cheap” and have a “warranty.”
🥇 1st Place: Qualit (クオリット)
They sell PCs that were used by large Japanese companies after professional cleaning.
Many of them look as clean as new (Grade A)!
- Price: Laptops (Noto Pasokon / ノートパソコン) start from 20,000 yen.
- Warranty: Comes with a 12-month Warranty (Hosho / 保証) for peace of mind.
- Recommendation: Perfect for work, study, and watching videos. (There are also PCs that can handle light gaming!)
🥈 2nd Place: PC WRAP (ピーシーラップ)
If you’re looking for “Super Cheap (Gekiyasu / 激安),” this is the place.
Some PCs come with a 3-Year Warranty (San-nen Hosho / 3年保証), and the service is excellent.
Summary: Good tools make life in Japan more fun
Stop regretting buying a cheap, broken PC.
If you choose a “Used PC with a Warranty,” you can use the saved money to eat delicious food!
Once you buy a PC, you’ll need Wi-Fi, right?
Check out the Wi-Fi options that don’t require installation work!
🔋 【Bonus】Is your phone battery okay?
Long video calls or watching YouTube outside drains your battery quickly, doesn’t it?
Buying them at a convenience store (Konbini / コンビニ) is expensive, so buy a “Large capacity (Dai-yoryo / 大容量)” (20,000mAh or more) online.
I recommend the brand Anker (アンカー).
It’s a bit pricey, but it’s durable and the charging speed is incredibly fast!
▼ Sensei’s recommendation (20,000mAh)
📦 See Anker (アンカー) batteries on Amazon
