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?

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.
