I went on a shopping spree in Akihabara before the long weekend, with a budget of "under 10,000 yen," and I found far more "usable items" than I expected.

A working laptop for 4,000 yen.
An Apple genuine power adapter for 100 yen.
A Toughbook with XP that even boots up to the BIOS for 5,000 yen.
When you hear "junk," you tend to imagine "broken things," but
Akihabara these days is a place where you can find surprisingly cheap, practical items if you have a keen eye.

Among them, the one I bought without hesitation was a Chromebook for 3,980 yen.
There were over 100 units in stock at the store, and it turned out they were learning devices for the GIGA School program.
Even though the specs are modest, it's a different story if you limit its use to "watching videos only."
If you fold it into a tent and place it next to your bed or sofa, it becomes a perfectly good tablet for watching videos.

Instead of buying cheap things, buy things that have a specific use in mind at a low price.

This article will also include tips to help you avoid making mistakes when choosing used items, so if you're going to Akihabara during the holidays, please feel free to check it out.
