Hi!
I live in Tokyo but work for a US based company. I need a new laptop (Apple MacBook Pro), and I have the option of either
- Having work buy me a laptop in the US and send it to me here or
- Buying a laptop myself here
The issue with having work buy me a laptop is that it's potentially going to take weeks for them to provision it and figure out shipping. I would much prefer to buy something here, however I will not be living here longterm and likely next year will head back to the US.
For this reason I'm hesitant to buy a laptop here from the Apple store in Tokyo for example, I don't really want it to be a Japan keyboard layout, and more importantly for me I don't want to find myself in a situation where the Apple store in the US won't service the laptop because it's a Japan based SKU.
I'm wondering if anybody here has any experience with this specific issue or could provide any guidance?
Thank you!
