buying Japanese laptop question -keevill- 11-30-2007

 I want to purchase a Panasonic laptop ( CF-W7 specifically ) from Japan.
Cost is lower !! Apart from Japanese Windows which I know I must take off
and replace with UK Windows, are there are any other language problems which
I will encounter with the Japanese version of the laptop?
Clearly, I do not need to use Japanese language - only English.

You'll likely find a strange keyboard.

'Strange' does not necessarily mean strange (foreign) characters, but
rather, unfamiliar layout.

so to summarise... if the keyboard is QWERTY and I take off Japanese
Windows... then am I safe enough to buy and use one of these machines ??
Nothing else to come back to haunt me ??
