Which brand is better, HP or sony? ?

Question

I've been doing research on laptops because I need a new one pretty badly. I currently have a Dell inspiron and it's my third one. I'm never going back to Dell that's for d**n sure... anyways... I've narrowed down my options to the HP Pavillion dv6875 (special edition) it has a lot of specs that sound promising but I've never owned an HP. My other option is the sony vaio cr510. the Hp is about $50 more than the vaio. The big difference is battery size (hp has a 12 cell, vaio has 6) I would like a big battery since I want to take it to class but that also means extra weight. the vaio is a 14" which I really want. I have a 15" now and i hate how big it is but if the HP is as awesome as it sounds, i think i could deal with it. haha. now i have a friend with a vaio that's almost 3 years old and runs like new. And I have to say, I'm a big fan of their keyboards. VERY easy to clean.

But in truth, I don't know much about either brand cuz I've never owned either. so I need some help, which brand makes better computers overall?

Answer 1

*sigh*

i love my dell inspiron 1520 gaming rig but if you dont want a dell fine...

but brand names dont tell us anything dude.

You need to post the computers specification.  Whats the processor, ram, video card, ect? (and price) (so add details and ill tell you which is better)

& 15.4" isn't big dude, that's the standard screen size.  17" is big. and then there's HP's 20" laptop....now that's big.

EDIT:

"the hp has a 350 processor while the sony has a 250. That's all I can think of right now..."

Dude, that means absolutely nothing to me.

Post a link to the two laptops, or give me the model number of the processor (it should say it, something like: T7500, T8300, or Athlon 4200+) or at least the speed and type of processor (core 2 duo, pentium D, 1.8GHz, 2.4GHz, ect ect)

In order to judge the value and abilities of a computer the specifications need to be known.  Computers arn't shipped out all the same these days, they have completely different insides.

Answer 2

i've heard that HP's aren't good, and Sony if you have a problem it's hard to contact them and get the issue resolved.......I LOVE Toshiba, their not that expensive and one of the best i've seen.

Answer 3

HP is a lot better. U can get a great laptop with a great configuration for under 1000 bucks. Sony is too expensive and the configuration on most of them really sucks.

Answer 4

Sony, I have a HP Pavilion dv9000, but my aunt has 2 Sony, desktop and laptop and it works a lot better and faster than mine and mines newer but then again, she learned 1-2 years or more about computers in high school or colledge so of course her computer works good. I had a Dell desktop still have it and it sucks totally my mom uses it now...
