Based on the fact that you complained about battery life for the specs on your Vaio, I'm going to guess that you aren't a hardcore gamer. Both of the laptops you mentioned are going to eat up your battery life because of the high-end graphics cards. However, the Macbook Pro should give you longer battery life than the HP Envy. If you don't game as much, get a laptop with a Core 2 Duo. They're better optimized for laptop use than Core i3/5/7's at the moment in terms of power usage. They're still fast enough and cheaper. Also, look for a laptop with integrated graphics or a mid-range graphics cards if you are concerned about battery life.
If you can afford it and you are comfortable with the operating system, macbooks are much better than any windows computer. I am currently using a HP and its not working out for me so well...I am wishing I had a macbook but I was unable to afford one. Through my research and consumer reports, apple products are consistently ranking much higher than all other brands of laptops.Next laptop, hp envy, macbook pro?
The Envy 14 is better in this case, but so you are aware the Envy does not have an optical drive. Other than that, the Envy outclasses the Macbook Pro in every way. Even though the 2 processors are both clocked at 2.4ghz, the i5 is vastly superior to the old Core 2 Duos.
Go with the Mac Book Pro, and selling itt depends on what issues your having with it. If its in great condition and has few to no issues about 750$ Good conditions with minor issues 600$
All laptop batteries die after a year or two depending on how much you use it. Also, all laptops come with a bunch of crappy programs that most people don't need. You could just uninstall all the unnecessary programs you have on your Sony or use msconfig (google it). From what you say, the Sony sounds like a perfectly good laptop with pretty nice specs to me. Just take off a few hundred dollars off the original if you end up selling it, like any used laptop.



For the two laptops you're thinking about. You're basically asking Mac or PC. You really can't compare specific macs and PCs so choose which type of computer you want first.

ASUS vs MSI: Verdict



Overall, ASUS comes out the winner of this comparison. MSI's gaming laptops and netbooks are decent, but they don't have an advantage over ASUS. Combine this with ASUS's already well established reputation reliability and you have a situation where MSI simply can't hope to win. This may change in the future as MSI develops its laptops and learns through experience, but for now ASUS is the better choice.



ASUS took the top spot as the most reliable laptop manufacturer, but only beat out Toshiba by a miniscule margin. That鈥檚 to be expected though, since ASUS and Toshiba are already known for build quality. The real surprise came when we discovered which manufacturer was at the bottom. According to the data, more than 25 percent of HP laptops malfunction over the course of three years. That鈥檚 a horrible failure rate when compared with the leading manufacturers. Based on stories we鈥檝e heard, we fully expected Dell to be at the bottom of the list. Again, that was pure hearsay, so it鈥檚 nice to have the hard numbers to tell the truth.
