Although Sony Vaio are expensive, kitted up with all the latest bits and pieces... I would recommend Toshiba. Unlike some of my computers, Toshiba never crashed.
Both were good in terms of quality but I prefer Toshiba than Sony Vaio. I previously had a Vaio and it was good but it can’t really withstand prolong use under room temperature, meaning I need to use the laptop in an air-conditioned room else it will shut down in an hour. I had it sold and bought a Toshiba satellite and so far I never had problems with it. The hardware is great, the performance is superb, and the price…it’s perfect.
I think Thshiba is the best laptop because it can be used as rough use and will works greatly but the Vaio is only can used as smooth as possible.
