The Bic Camera Ikebukuro Camera and PC Building is located along the Meiji Dori just after exiting the east exit of Ikebukuro Station.It is one of the long history of BicCamera Group as a specialty building. Until the summer of 2021, it was the "Ikebukuro Main Store Pason Building", but it was renovated and became the "Ikebukuro Camera and PC Building".
This time, we talked to Seiji Ito, who is looking at PCs and peripheral devices at this store, and Takashi Abe, who is the chief of the Mac corner, is familiar with tablets.

First of all, Mr. Ito told me about the Wi-Fi router section and the intense Oshitem of the telework section.Wi-Fi routers are NEC Platforms "Aterm WX3600HP", TP-Link's "Archer AX73", and ELECOM's "WMC-2LX-B".Let's look in order.
Aterm WX3600HP has a Wi-Fi speed up to 2402Mbps, 2.4GHz band 1147Mbps, execution throughput 1627Mbps.Although it is not a explosive speed now, it implements a QOS that can set the priority of communication at the terminal level, and there is no worry about network games and 4K streaming videos.Compatible with Wi-Fi 6, you can build a stable communication environment with up to 36 simultaneous connections and up to 12 users.It also has a "wide range antenna plus" function to make your smartphone comfortable.
"My best recommendation is Aterm WX3600HP. The basics, such as 4x4 antennas, WPA3, IPv6, etc. are" fast and well reached "routers.It is an honor student who can recommend it to everyone who seems to be NEC "(Mr. Ito)
According to Mr. Ito, those who purchase Aterm are often replaced by ATERM's old models, and they can be used stably and long, making it a repeater with high satisfaction.Support is also popular.We evaluate that the balance between prices and performance is the best.
"When consulting by choosing a router, if the size of the house exceeds 70 square meters, it is said that ordinary routers will be strict to reach from end to end. It is less than 70 square meters and speedy games.I especially recommend it when you are not playing or want to connect multiple devices with your family to Wi-Fi "(Mr. Ito)

The Archer AX73 is a Wi-Fi 6 compatible Wi-Fi router with a unique appearance of six antennas and scales with scales.Compatible with beamforming, ONEMESH and IPv6.Easy to do 8K and VR.It has a USB port, and it is possible to share files by connecting USB memory.Wi-Fi speed is 5GHz band up to 4804Mbps, 2.4GHz band 547Mbps.
"5GHz and 2.A representative of a high -speed router exceeding 5000Mbps in total of 4GHz.Cost performance is the best for specifications.I think it's an interesting feature that you can connect external storage and use it as a simple NAS.However, some people are a little worried about the squid appearance.Gundam lovers are almost certainly stabbed, but the support from women is low. "(Mr. Ito)
Even if the antenna is external and the room is long and the router can only be installed at the end, the antenna can be tilted to improve the communication environment in the direction you want to fly.Although the vertical placement is forced to stand using a bookend, etc., it is equipped with a hook for wall hanging.
"Cost performance is attractive. It is best for those who want to put on their desks while emphasizing cospa and want to put the game top priority. The gaming router is high performance but high cost." (Mr. Ito).
TP-Link's "Archer AX73 AX5400"
WMC-2LX-B is a Wi-Fi 6 compatible router that focuses on simple mesh networks.Compatible with IPv6, Wi-Fi speed is 1201Mbps for 5GHz band, 2.The 4GHz band is 574Mbps, which is modest compared to the other products listed this time.
"I think it is good that ELECOM's unique e-mesh allows you to easily purchase high-priced mesh routers. This product is a hit, so you can stress" hard to connect ".I realized that there were many customers who have it. "(Mr. Ito)
If you have two models, you can build a mesh without any specific settings because it is paired from the beginning.If you add it later, you can pair with just one push the button on the back of the main unit.
"With the spread of teleworks, the need to use the network in the house has increased. The mesh network is suitable for such people. The house has more than 70 square meters and Wi-Fi equipment all over the house.If you want to use, this unit is definitely recommended rather than introducing a relay machine "(Mr. Ito)
ELECOM's "WMC-2LX-B"
Continue, it is the intense octopus in the telework section.Mr. Ito picked up Logitech's gaming keyboard "GX Blue Switch G512-CK", Anker's quick charging adapter "Anker Nano II 65W", and ELECOM's webcam "UCAM-CX80FBBK".
It is a mechanical gaming keyboard that adopts the original blue axis key switch "GX BLUE".The connection is wired.The key top shines vividly with the LED.
"I also like the blue axis. Comparing the feeling of holding the key at the store, it was the most" exquisite kachaka condition ", so I purchased and used it myself.I use it at home as "Mr. Ito)
The keyboard feeling of the keyboard varies from person to person.There is no absolute standard for which is better, so try to actually touch it at the store and try out the depth of the stroke and the press pressure of the keys match your taste.Especially, "sound" is absolutely unknown only by the specification table.If you don't want to get noise that can be stressful for your family and colleagues, you can actually find a quiet keyboard at the store.
"If you use Logitech's unique utility" G Hub ", you can change the key and button layout and control the LED. Depending on the professional gamer, the key arrangement is released, so your favorite professional gamer key.You can easily imitate the arrangement. I think this is a good point of this keyboard. "(Mr. Ito)
Logitech's "GX Blue Switch G512-CK"
The Anker Nano II 65W is a popular rapid charging adapter with a compact cube type.Equipped with a foldable plug, it has 65W output for USB Power Delivery (PD), without being aware of the difference between the OS of iOS, Android, and Windows, smartphones, tablets and notebook PCs can be charged with this one.。You don't have to carry a heavy AC adapter.A gallium nitride (GAN) is used as a semiconductor material to achieve stable charging with its own control technology "Anker Gan II".
"This is also an item that I use myself. I purchased it as a second AC adapter to balance the company and telework. It is really wonderful to be able to output 65W in this size. When using A4 notebooks on the goI use it "(Mr. Ito)
According to Mr. Ito, the number of fans of Anker has increased recently, and there are a lot of nominations.Since it may require more output, such as gaming PCs, if you tell me the model number of the device used at the store, you will find out if you are responding on the spot.

The end of Mr. Ito's intense octopus is UCAM-CX80FBK, an ELECOM USB connection web camera.It is 4K compatible and 8.3 million pixels high quality, with DOL-HDR technology.You can see a bright and bright video.Equipped with a stereo digital built -in microphone, it is packed with convenient functions such as 2 microphone noise canceling, privacy shutter, speaker marking and auto zoom.
"I was surprised that ELECOM, which has many products that emphasizes cost performance, released a high -priced webcam. Not only the image quality, but also the specifications as a meeting camera such as auto zoom are perfect."
I think many people feel that the 20,000 yen range in the web camera is expensive, but Mr. Ito asserts that it is rather cheap if it is such a high performance.
"For example, if there are multiple participants in the conference room of the headquarters and the branch office is connected at an online meeting, this camera will distinguish multiple speakers and automatically mark the person who is talking now. Very high quality.So, if you use it alone, you can see a beautiful video. I think it is excellent as a camera for distribution. "(Mr. Ito).

Yoga Tab 13 is a 13 -inch LTPS display tablet equipped with Snapdragon 870 in SoC.Equipped with a micro HDMI input terminal, it can be used as a sub -display for PCs and console game consoles.It is a point that the stick -shaped battery has a unique shape on one side of the main body, and it is easy to hold in your hand.
"In the 13 -inch class, Yoga Tab 13 has a great strength. With Micro HDMI input terminal, it can be used for sub -display/mobile display applications. This is convenient. The display is also high quality."Abe)
There are many types of 14 -inch tablets, but 13 inches are surprisingly small, and in most cases the price is nearly 150,000 yen or the performance is not good.Meanwhile, 13 inches has achieved this basic performance and high -quality display, and it is finished in a non -competitive product in that it is low in price of 80,000 yen.
"Because the screen is beautiful, there are many people who use it on a PC sub -display when telework. It is a specification that can be used without a PC, and unless it is a computer that is difficult to do if it is not a computer, this one is enough. From entertainment to business.You can use it "(Mr. Abe)
Lenovo's "Yoga Tab 13"
Meanwhile, 8.The representative of a 3 -inch small tablet is iPad mini.The latest model eliminated the home button, and the bezel width on the top, down, left and right became uniform, giving a sharp impression.The CPU adopts A15 Bionic.The power button at the top of the main unit is integrated with the Touch ID of the fingerprint authentication, making it easier to use.
"In addition to the latest A15 Bionic chip, 5G compatible with Wi-Fi + Cellular model, with a Touch ID on the side following the iPad Air, it is the best solution if you choose a compact tablet" (Mr. Abe).
Mr. Abe says that it is almost the only option if there are not many products with this size and solid performance in Android, and if you value the size that can be easily walked in a bag.
"There are many iPhone users in Japan, and if you are looking for a tablet with your iPhone user, there is almost no reason not to recommend an iPad. Many Android smartphone users choose iPad mini for this size. Apple has excellent support.There is a face -to -face support window nationwide. Telephone support is also solid. You can use it with confidence from beginners to professionals. "
Apple's "iPad mini"
The last is the full -size mirrorless single -lens camera "Z9", which is a new flagship of Nikon.Video and still images are said to be the highest ever, which surpasses the Nikon flagship "D6".In particular, the video function has evolved significantly, and it is the world's first 8K60p shooting as a full -size mirrorless.It also supports RAW video output.It is one of the attention from professionals to high amateurs."There was an explosive order from the first day of the reservation. It is very popular with the performance and price that incorporates users of high -ranking aircraft," said Abe.
The price of 700,000 yen is not cheap, but as a flagship camera, it is a price that can be obtained.Once the camera is released, it takes time to remodel the model and it will continue to sell for years, so it seems that users who have been waiting for this are jumping.
"There are many people who switch from SLR standard lenses and telephoto lenses as they are on the mount adapter, so there are many people who switch from single -lens reflex cameras such as Z6. Recording media is the mainstream of 64GB for amateurs, but professionals prepare 512GB."There is also" (Mr. Abe)
