I posted earlier a question between a Gateway and an HP. The HP was the most voted. Another told me of his opinion of Toshiba and the website, newegg.com. I did not like the reviews I read of Toshibas, but I did look into the website. So this question is between the HP and a Sony Vaio…

I am not a gamer, but do use computer for heavy internet, multitasking, storing music/photos/movies etc. and burning music cds/dvds. Use computer everyday.
which one should i pick and why?
I am not interested in a Dell whatsoever
Well.. I would go with the HP because you can actually trust HP brand and it got a nice customer care.. and far as i can see the HP laptop have more sweet features… So recommend the ” HP Laptop”.
sony computers are usually bogged down with a lot of unnecessary software and I’ve always had good experiences with HP’s If i was you, I would buy the HP.
Hp. Please do not even consider a DELL specially if you are thinking of buying from the website. Lest just say I ordered my laptop Sept. 8th and honey until this day I am still waiting for that crap. Go with the Hp, I am dying to cancel the order and run to the store and HUG an HP laptop TIGHTLY.
(My point is buy ANTHING other then a Dell!)
You have been WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
