Mostly just that of "tech support"-type. I am far less familiar with the Mac OS, so it is more difficult for me to take care of my own problems without assistance. I'm mostly worried about switching systems and then being abroad for a year when something goes wrong with my laptop.

I also don't know how much college students tend to use their laptops for class, etc. though I assume I can always use a school computer if necessary. Only I know that even in the States their are technology compatability issues. I've had to hook my laptop up to school projectors before in order to give presentations, but I don't know how commonplace this is Tokyo universities? There are always other methods, I suppose. Of course, I'm sure I can get creative if I run into problems.

Really I just want to know if there is anything in particular about which I should be forwarned.
