No problems ever noted. Most electrical engineers will tell you that
plugging a 60Hz product into a 50Hz power source will help it keep going
longer. No idea how it will affect performance but be aware that some
laptops take a slight performance hit which most users will not notice.
You _may_ want to check that your warranty is honored in Japan. The
foreign-market products of most Japanese manufacturers are not, unless
you specifically have an international warranty that specifically
includes this country. Fujitsu is not on anyone's list of companies
noted for kindness or flexibility in warranty repair.
