    Hi,
    I purchased Sony VAIO F13 from US Sony Style, it has been shipped and I got tracking number, I see that it has been shipped from China.
    Last year, I purchased VAIO FW and it has been shipped from California.
    Are all VAIO products shipped from China at the present?

    Thanks

    At the very least, MOST of the first batch production runs are made in Japan (at least that is how Sharp did it with their small line of laptops :p).

    I had ordered a Vaio vpcf1390x on Sep 19th, and I got the tracking# on 28th, the shipped out from Yantai China.
    I do not worried to much about the manufacturer, cos a lot of electronic devices are made or assembled in china, e.g.thinkpad, apple and so on. But I am really worried about the shipping speed in China mainland, a kind of like snail... I only hope I can receive it on the estimated arrival data(Oct.4).

    Its because what Ive heard is Sony San Diego,Ca is gone, closed down. I know someone who lost their job there. It all goes threw china i think that is why Ive been getting so many offers for @ home repair work from Sony.
