Your links don't work, but I'd go with the VM, better processor and better PC company. Do you have to buy it at best buy, you can go direct from VM website...

The real question is, what do you intend to use the laptop for, what does it have to be able to do?

Here's the links:

Sony

VM

Sony has blueray support, VM doesn't...otherwise the VM is a better laptop. There are other differences, screen resolution, video card (7600GT vs 7600GS) but we need to know what you need it to do before making different recommendations.
