Because I'm totally incapable of making my own decisions, but I'm leaning toward the Vaio or HP. These three are all in my price range, but the only computer I've ever had is a Sony Vaio desktop, so I'm unsure how other brands operate. I'd really appreciate some opinions about which one of these would be the best. Basically, I'd be using it for schoolwork and browsing the web. I play the Sims on occasion, and WoW when my boyfriend begs me. I assume anything will work for these, considering right now they're being run just fine on a 7 year old, 80 GB Vaio.

Anyway, the computers are here:

Thanks to anyone who has an opinion, and other $550-650ish recommendations are appreciated, too!

I'm sure that I could be a movie star,
If I could get out of this place.

I'm not too up to speed on that sort of processor, but I think that for current generation processors, Intel is usually a slightly better deal.  Since you're in the <$650 price range, you probably don't care about extraordinary video card power, or anything, so just pick based on the special features you want (i.e. what inputs/outputs does it have, etc.).  Another thing that is important is the actual durability/lifespan of the computer.  

Bearing in mind that I don't know too much about the particular components, the quality of products provided by each of those companies, or exactly what you're looking for, my instinct would be to get the Sony.
