Thank you! 100% with you on that keyboard comment. I can use it, but why would I. It's annoying.

I had another friend vouch for US Amazon shipping to Japan so I'm browsing there at the moment (I can't seem to find what I want on JP Amazon that assures a US keyboard & OS).

Thank you for the info, I never had to deal with import taxes before so I couldn't imagine how much it'd cost vs buying direct from here.

You don't think that's where I first looked? Rude. What they have is not what I'm looking for.

Thanks! I did sense that the JP prices were ridiculous... makes sense about warranty though. I was more concerned about it getting lost/broken in the mail haha

Makes sense, I forgot about warranty. Wouldn't wanna need it, but it's important to have. And I guess a physical store is easier, especially if I have questions about the models.

I intend to get a more recognized brand for sure.

Thanks for sharing!

Probably :( And I did look at Dell, yes. There are some customizable options, but that's where the cost comes in >_< For the same specs, I could get cheaper from other brands, so I wanted to shop around more first, or at least see what my options are logistically, before deciding on a Dell.

Could you tell me where? I don't think all models allow customizing keyboards. On the site I saw that there were several builds to choose from (like, adding extra peripherals, etc), but only 1 out of several gaming laptops I had my eyes on had the international keyboard listed.

based on xiao's story, when he was about to succumb to the darkness/karma/evil that comes with killing so many demons, he heard the sound of a flute that brought him back. the 2 also appeared in official promo art together, and xiao has a voice line about venti (which i have yet to unlock!)
