買うまえ計算室: The Buy-Before Calculator Room
A Japanese set of free calculators for sizing monitors, estimating SSD capacity, and comparing electricity costs before buying.
Field notes
The project translates common specification questions into household constraints: whether two monitors fit on a 120cm desk, whether storage growth leaves enough free capacity, and how long an electricity-saving model takes to offset its higher purchase price. Its purchase guidance also separates USB-C connector shape from 5Gbps and 10Gbps speed ratings. The site states that its formulas and assumptions are public and that its material is based on manufacturer information and calculations, not hands-on reviews.
