    I think the A8Jm is the better choice due to the better build quality and better GPU.

    I wouldn't put the build quality of the A8 above the SZ sony models.... not in the least... if anything they're more on the same level, although I'd give a little more to the Sony in that case. If you want more of a comparison, yes I know it's a little bit more expensive, but if you want to compare apples with apples, you should compare the SZ series with the W7j - both 13.3" w/ dedicated graphics (granted you're looking at the SZ with a dedicated gpu - otherwise it makes your comparison that much more off).
