if the VAIO is produced in China, only the manpower is from CHINA.
be reminded that the quality is not compromised at all.
Fake and low quality China products are because of fake and cheap material from chapalang company (or pirated goods of branded company - illegal)
So, A Good Laptop May Be Assembled in China .
Manpower(workforce) =/= Ingredients (materials)

In conclusion, if materials sux, made in USA also is useless.
It doesnt matter where u assemble the good.

yes, but it has lasted a long time. never had any problem at all.
(the made in japan one)

i was just asking about the Vaio C series because its made in china and from what i read :

Japan's Sony Corp has recalled some 5,600 Sony VAIO notebook computers made on the Chinese mainland. Users could receive a mild electric shock when the computers are connected to a phone line and the phone rings

so...if any users here bought this C series Vaio and used for some time and got no problem, thats good news...

i might get the C series too..the cheapest vaio now.

thanks a lot
