Which Laptop is Better

[Tlechem]

OK I've narrowed my search down to these two laptops. Which is better.The Sony has an i3 while the HP has an i5, but I feel like Sony is a better company on quality. What do you think?

Better..... for what?

sorry, for college, general stuff like web and word and movies. Definitely not doing Photoshop or anything intense like that.

I think relative quality between the two is a non issue as neither of them makes laptops. They but them from ODM's. The vast majority of laptops on the market are manufactured by a small handful of Original Design Manufacturers (ODM). Major relationships include:

-Clevo sells the same designs to dozens of "re-branders" including Sager, XoticPC, Eurocom, RJtech, RKC notebooks, Pro-Star, PowerNotebooks, Origin PC, AVAdirect, V3 Gaming PC, Falcon Northwest, CyberPower, iBuyPower, System 76, PC Torque, Puget systems, Vigor Gaming (defunct), M-Tech, XTreme Notebooks, Smooth-Creations, MALIBAL, Widow PC, Hypersonic PC systems, Micro Express Computers, Jinco Computers, DevilTech, ChiliGreen, and many many more.
-MSI follow similar re-branding practices to Clevo, although on a lesser scale, and also preserve their own MSI brand. Lotus is one MSI re-brander.
Quanta sells to (among others) HP/Compaq, Dell, Toshiba, Sony, Fujitsu, Acer, NEC, Gateway and Lenovo/IBM
-Compal sells to Toshiba, HP/Compaq, Acer, and Dell.
-Positivo Informatica sells to Samsung, Sony, Siragon, Toshiba, HP
-Wistron (former manufacturing & design division of Acer) sells to HP/Compaq, Dell, IBM, -NEC, Acer, and Lenovo/IBM.
-Flextronics (former Arima Computer Corporation notebook division) sells to HP/Compaq, -NEC, and Dell.
-Itautec sells to Siragon, LG, Samsung, Sony
-ECS sells to IBM, Fujitsu, and Dell.
-Asus sells to Apple (iBook), Sony, and Samsung.
-Inventec sells to HP/Compaq, Toshiba, BenQ, and Acer.
-Lanix sells to Sony, Compaq, Toshiba, Siragon, Itautec
-Uniwill sells to Lenovo/IBM and Fujitsu & PC World UK own brand Advent.
