This WEIRD Japanese Laptop LOOKS 20 Years Old… - Panasonic SF-SV2

beautiful

Amigo la pista en español tiene el audio en portugués 🤣🤣🤣

I wish they made one with a better trackpad but other than that I would buy this

As a person who is stuck with 8 gb soldered ram laptop.
I have a profound hate for soldered rams. As the world of chromium based apps are taking over soon in some years 8 gb will be bare minimum and 16 gb will be required for normal day to day laptops.
This means more and more machines will go to landfills. as last few years most of the budget laptops are being sold with the soldered ram.

My Logitech diNovo Edge has that same round trackpad, with the spin-scrolling feature. I always liked it.

Recently picked up a laptop off the sid eof the road. It was perfect despite not having a harddrive installed. Got tiny 11 on it and it runs very good for being 12 years old.

Wouldn't be surprised if they use floppy disks; Because of how Japan operates, still.

I extremely love classic design electronics products and automobiles

panasonic be like : No. You Wrong. That My Brand Laptop Has A Cheapest And Have The Best Performace But The Design Of The Body Its Weird.. bruh Its So long text

hell buy a mouse and that laptop makes sense

I remember the old ipod

Twenty twony two

why does japan gets all the good stuff i want an absolute aluminum brick of a laptop that can run windows 11

You need 6 of those batteries for a 12hr period. No kidding.

I miss these features wish gaming laptops had the same features

I love it so much

I love the scrolling feature on the touchpad, I hate doing it the normal way without a mouse

We could call this a sleeper laptop

I'm surprised it doesn't have a floppy disk slot. I do miss that swappable external battery though. Why did they do away with that? It's such a useful feature.

I’ll say more people in Japan use old tech than other places. In Japan it’s easy to get a fax machine still, but here in North America only hospitals use faxes.

All laptops look 20 years old. He who games has a gaming PC desktop and uses ethernet connection, not wifi. No serious gamer uses a laptop. Ever. Dont care who you are.

I worked at IFA Berlin 2023 Panasonic VIP/Business area and i haven't seen a single Macbook nor any other brand laptops. Everyone from the president, highest level executives, salesman, managers etc everyone used this series laptops. Although majority of them i believe was from 2015.

What about the good Ole days of Asus having two serviceable ram slots on their laptops and then after removing the motherboard and flipping it over have two more ram slots and a removable gpu also?

Japan is the most old school theme kinda country when it comes to techs

My first laptop back in senior high school was a Panasonic. As in one of these haha
I feel like only Panasonic makes these older-looking laptops
My current laptop is an NEC Lavie, which looks much more fitting for our time

Nice MJ reference when you said 2002!!

OMG I'd love to buy one of these 😍 What would be the best option to buy one in Europe ? Thank you

It had a phone before wifi, thats wild.

If all Laptops took inspiration from this one, the world would be a much better place.

I want to buy this laptop

I love it

The Japanese sure love living in Nostalgia

꼰대노트북 ㅋ

imagine when a kid gets this laptop gifted and says, why is it so old

They are super durable and practical, that's why they are still popular. Japanese companies often buy them for workers since they only look for practicality. The keyboard is mushy since it has a waterproof film underneath. Little bit of splashing coffee won't break them. They are ugly and bulky but battery life is amazing.

Panasonic laptops are built different📈...

It's rugged version. From Panasonic

please remember.
Japan is a rare country where the old and the new exist side by side.
We Japanese take good care of our skyscrapers, which are the most advanced in the world and can withstand a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, and our temples, which are built of wood and over 1000 years old.
In other words, if there is a certain level of need for something that we like or still need, then that technology is allowed to exist in Japan.
To abandon an interface that has a robust track record just because it is old goes against the idea of IO standards. Besides, the presence of IO ports in no way inhibits the performance of the PC itself.
In fact, the Let's Note series is light and does not break even when handled a little roughly. (We Japanese are really good at making things small, light, and sturdy)
You'll love that old-fashioned interface when you're saved by that IO port someday.

Nothint weird about that except the presenter

Anyone can refer me to how to buy this in Europe? (France or Switzerland or Italy)

Having lived and worked in Japan, a significant portion of this country is still stuck in the 90's. It's only been a recent phenomenon where establishments accept credit cards and digital forms of payments. I'm not surprised one bit.

All in one 😮

Because senior citizens find it easy to use and it's popular among them, there's a lot of them in Japan's population

Japan is an aging society, so it's not surprising that these notebooks are probably designed for the elderly.

Cool laptop (:

I'm still using the Panasonic Cf mx5 and boy this may be outdated but it still works as expected.

Be sure not to auction that linus

the Japanese are good when it comes to using the "fingers" 👈

i dunno about you guys but most of the features suits me. swappable battery, i can just buy a new battery and install it myself so i need not to pay extra for their service. a built in DVD reader is good when i need to play some old games or watch DVD without carrying an external DVD player. ethernet and vga port could be useful for those who doesn't have the budget to own those modern home appliances
