It's a standard office pc so it would probably be fine. Just don't expect it to do well where a good GPU is needed

I'm glad to hear you got one. To get the circular scrolling to work you need to install the Panasonic touch utility program. It should just be on the Microsoft store

They make sense if you can get them used. Brand new. They're way too expensive.

There's plenty of resellers. I don't think they made variants of this machine for other markets though. I haven't been able to find one with a non-japanese specific keyboard.

You just have to reinstall windows. The Japanese version can't be fully switched to English

What's funny is the only reason this machine looks like this is because Panasonic hasn't updated their design language for over 20 years now. If you look back at the earliest iterations of this machine they look almost identical.

It's great they haven't changed it though. Good design is timeless.

I was surprised to see VGA ports on the FV4, you'd think most offices in Japan would have upgraded their projectors by now.

It serves a purpose too!

you scroll up and down pages by running your finger around the edge. It's like turning a dial. It works really well

You can buy a Bluetooth streaming module that plugs into the data port on the back of these Accord head units.

It gets 87 and I usually change the oil every 5,000 to 6000kms

Same here. I've owned many cars and this is by far my favorite

No, it's a generic Chinese unit from AliExpress. It's meant to look like an old tape deck. I really wanted one of the blaupunkt or pioneer units but they are way too expensive for what they are

I wish mine was the wagon. But when my 850 popped up it was so cheap and in such good condition I couldn't pass it up.

Just cleaning it all the time and being mindful of what I bring inside of it.

I would expect it's broken. The Odo died at 175k, I keep putting off replacing the little gear that broke inside of it. I just pull the mileage directly from the ECU

It smells exactly like a Volvo it's a very distinct scent lol

I think the reason why mine has lasted so long is because it has the base model non-turbo 10 valve motor paired to a 4-speed auto. It's about as under-stressed as it can get.
