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.

Sounds like a possible stress factor, even more so if you cannot communicate in Japanese.
I think all computers are prone to tech "stuff" problems. Imagine Apple didn't have an English help service in Japan. Would drive you nuts!
I would say SONY would have English phone back up in Japan, so maybe safe to stick with it for the ride.
then again, if you are rich and fancy something new, buy an iMac and worry later on
