Which is a better laptop brand Sony or HP?

Question

I want to choose between 2 laptops. Both have the same specs.

Which is more durable and of better performance Sony or HP? Thanks!

Answer 1

Sony is better  

Answer 2

Have a look at Lenovo - high quality robust laptops. !

Answer 3

HP

HP are specialist at PC's unlike Sony

I have a HP, paid £700 for, and its excellent, hasnt caused me any trouble.

I know 2 people with Sony Vaios, they both having problems currently. Its the second sony for one of them! their last one they paid over a grand for, packed up

Answer 4

Sony Vaio (although i use a HP, i'd trash it in a second to get my hand on a vaio.) :)

Answer 5

Sony Vaio is just about the best laptop you can find but they are pricey.

You can pick up a good enough HP laptop for £299, that one is good for music, photos etc.

Answer 6

HP have probably better experience with making computers, although Sony computers are generally higher quality.  Sony don't always give as much free software as HP.

My opinion is to go with HP, purely because i prefer the look and general performance of them.  I wouldn't mind knowing which models you are looking at.

Answer 7

Durable = HP   Better Performance = Sony

If you already have experience maintaining a delicate laptop, I'd go with Sony. (nice display resolution & blu-ray integration)

It definitely has a greater technology <WOW> factor as well as being more expensive  $$$.

If not, I'd stick with an HP. These guys make durable pc's. Mine is almost 7 years old, self-maintained and still doing good.

Answer 8

hp, my laptop has gone threw A LOT (trust me i'm very clumsy lol) and it still is going hardcore

Answer 9

I would go with sony. Sony is in it's prime when it comes down to technology.  

Answer 10

HP is better.

Sony is well over-priced.

Answer 11

Sony (although he's correct, its more expensive)

Answer 12

personally i think you pay for the name with sony. you said they are the same spec but are they the same price? HP for me.

Answer 13

we repair laptops and looked at purely from a repair point of view the HP is more reliable and much cheaper to repair. Laptop repair on sony laptops is usually very expensive because the components are very hard to get http://www.trilogicuk.co.uk
