    Yeah, very few are made elsewhere. Some of the high end vaios are still made in japan.

    Yeah I had an s380p/b, made in japan, then an FS series made in china, huge gulf in quality- fit and finish, display, cool, quiet. Everything. But you also have to consider the best designs are made there, the budget designs are made in china- even if qc is higher in the japan facilities, the fact that they are different models account for alot of it.
