Help me choose between these two laptops.....HP or Sony

[EddieWinslow1983]

I made a thread yeasterday about macs and if tehy are worth the price. Some say u can get a better pc with better specs. I appreciate all the replies to thatthread. Plus I really cant see myself paying that much for a laptop. Ive narrowed it down to these two.

HP>>>any Sony laptop

 

[halftime718]

Sony.

 

[sighfur]

my wife got an HP laptop thats similiar to that one, for $399.99 from best buy, 4gigs of ram, 320 hdd, built in webcam, all the same bells and whistles. But itstill had vista on it, and they offered to upgrade to windows 7 for an extra $40.00 ....i'd say ask them about such a deal.

Sony.

Is a 2.1GHz processor speed good? Sorry but I dont know to much about computers.

Sony has slightly better specs than the HP even though the HP are better computers overall.

I'd say neither, keep looking you can find better deals than that.

DO NOT GET HP. One of their model lines is known to have a problem with a part and it causes the wireless card to stop working randomly. They don't botherto fix it. I basically have a $1100 laptop with no internet capabilities

i love my HP

 

[biggie62]

Sony has better specs.

Sony >>>>>>> HP. I work in a computer repair job, hardly ever see them in for hardware related issues. From what I've seen Gateway isthe worst, HP, Toshiba, Asus and Dell are somewhere in the middle. Sony and Apple seem to do pretty well as far as quality.

I got this Sony a couple months ago and I love it

Its the same price as the one your looking at but the only difference I see is that mine has a blu-ray player on it. It also comes in white, red, n pink, butthe black is the dopest IMO.

Between those 2: Sony
Better resolution screen, larger HDD, better graphics card, multitouch trackpad.

 

[taimaishu123]
