Look at the FAQ for a partial answer to your questions.
Laptops already have built-in power converters, and you should ask your dealer if there area issues. But, it depends on where you live in Japan, as the FAQ describes. |

| You can plug in your labtop and alarm clock fine. The voltage is very near to what it is in Canada. No problems. However, you should always use a powerbar or surge protector when operating a computer. |

| Along the same lines, I recently purchased a Panasonic video camera. The adaptor (which will power the camera or charge the battery) specifies it will work between 110-240 volts. So, will it still work on Japanese 100 volts, or should I try and find the Matsusheeta (Panasonic Japan) equivalent? In other words, is this a scheme by Panasonic/Matsusheeta to make sure that equipment for other markets won't work in Japan? |
