Akihabara Sofmap 'junk' section: working old laptops for pocket money

The junk (ジャンク) corner at Sofmap Akihabara sells used gear 'as is' for very little. One buyer got a 2012 Fujitsu laptop marked junk that works perfectly and is still his daily machine.

Check first: Junk items have no warranty or returns; test what you can in store. Japanese keyboard layout.
