Question:
Build Quality - Sony Japan vs.....
I recall reading somewhere where there was a a blurb that certain Sony models that were made in Japan, the build quality was FAR superior to certain Sony models that were available Stateside.
I've seens and experiances Sonys in the past but have Never owned one.....but alas, my T43 is going out as I do need a ultra portable PC. Debated between the Sony TZ90 and The Fujitsu P7XXXX, but those pesky SSD hard drives won me over.
Answer:
Re: Build Quality - Sony Japan vs.....
of course the tz90, the fujitusu one is creepy and ugly. advanced models are all made in japan, like sz, tz, ux, tx. others are made in china.
Answer:
Re: Build Quality - Sony Japan vs.....
actually some earlier models like the VAIO FS sold in japan were actually Made In China while others sold in other countries were Made in Japan. its probably a marketing ploy of the "Made in Japan" value people seem to fall for. given Sony probably adopts a universal QC for its manufacturing factories, the quality shouldnt differ at all. moreover, regardless of wheres its "made in", the parts still come from the same places....
Answer:
Re: Build Quality - Sony Japan vs.....
as i know that all the vaio has three different quality level (A,B,C) A as best made, C as rarely passed the manufature quality test.
Sony sell the top one A to US and Canada, B to Euroupe HongKong Taiwan Korea and Japan themselve, C to all Communism countries, like China......
So, us as US and Canada should get the best quality of the VAIO
after all. 6/10 of the Vaio has motherboard, battery, Lcd dead pixels problems in China as i know.

Answer:
Re: Build Quality - Sony Japan vs.....
If your saying about A,B,C quality, actually i think the A quality goods are actually shipped to europe than to the US, the US gets the B goods since there was so much complain about it. Sony's quality over here have been good. Just my feeling ... not sure
And yes, i can read chinese ;)
