    All the F's are made in China. F12GFX is CTO model so RAM, CPU, HDD are configured here in the states, but the machine is really made in China too. Get the one you like the specs on.

    I am also making a comparison of these two models. Sony's official specs say the battery life for F127HG (available in HK) is only one hour whereas the battery life for F12GFX is 3 hours (available in the US). Can anybody know why there is such a big difference? Can the battery in F12GFX support a two-hour video playing, for instance?
