Drawbacks
Being such an enormous corporation it's almost impossible to give you a good overview of its practices. However, we do advice you to always check SONY products, because although most of them are designed in Japan and of good quality, they are also often manufactured and assembled in countries with a questionable reputation for civil liberties at best. They are by no means unique in this aspect however, most technology companies manufacture their products, or at least its components, in these countries.
