I’d reccomend the HP.
Sony, I’ll admit- has GREAT design, but weak systems. They look great, but don’t run well.
The HP, always somewhat stylish and "unique", yet it runs VERY well since HP focuses in on giving you a good, smooth-running laptop.
I would chose HP because i had a sony laptop and it had SOOO much problems with it and now i have a HP and it works perfectly fine , but its your decision on weather you want a sony or a HP , but in my opinion i would choose the HP
They are both good laptops, but it depends on what you need. They are both designed for multimedia, but if you want a few fun colors, a larger screen, a better camera, and you don’t need the best performance, go with Viao. If you want more basic features with a better battery, slimmer design, better performance, and the fingerprint reader, get the HP. I would get the HP, but its your choice.
