Sony's ARE fab if the label says 'Made in Japan' if it's a 'Made in China/USA' I'd avoid at all costs! I've been told that by the head honcho of the PC section at Fry's in Vegas
ROTFL You trust the knowledge of shopstaff in Frys?

Was the guy trying to sell you a laptop at the time?
FWIW, I don't believe any (hardly) laptops are made in Japan anymore. Around 85% are now made in China with smaller numbers coming out of Mexico and recently the Czech Republic.
That said, they are all based on an AMD or intel chipset... all produced in the same places (not Japan). laptops are commodity items now, all essentially the same damn thing with different skins. Just worry about the price, warranty and support, the hardware is all much of a muchness.
