I' thinking on getting new laptop, and can not make my mind up between HP Pavilion or Sony VAIO® SZ381P/X.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure i'd go for a SOny tbh.. just my opinion though..

What will you be using the Laptop primarily for?

Sony laptops are overpriced for the spec. You're paying for the name. As Huddy said, what are you using it for? Browsing/email? A £400 laptop will be more than suitable. If it's light gaming machine need to spend £700+. For a proper gaming laptop I wouldn't bother, just buy a desktop instead.
