Sofmap in Akihabara is a tech lover's paradise! The store offers an extensive collection of electronics, including both used and brand-new items, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in gadgets and technology.
The layout of the store is well-organized, with each floor dedicated to specific categories, making it easy to navigate. The ground floor features a wide selection of used phones and watches, ideal for anyone looking for affordable options. The first floor is perfect for PC enthusiasts, offering a variety of parts and components. On the second floor, you'll find used MacBooks and other laptops in excellent condition, making it a great option for budget-conscious buyers.
For me, the third floor was the highlight, as it houses brand-new Apple computers. This is my favorite section, and I was thrilled to purchase a new MacBook here. The prices were competitive, and I was able to get in tax free, making it an even better deal!
The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, ready to assist with any questions or recommendations. Whether you're looking for a used bargain or the latest tech, Sofmap has something for everyone. I highly recommend this store to anyone...
