Of the three you've listed I'd only consider Samsung, based on 2nd hand opinions from trusted friends and podcasters. May last few laptops have included a Dell XPS (never again after they refused to replace the video card that broke multiple times), Asus EEE (not again until they sell them again with Linux), Toshiba (never again - apalling build quality, requirement for Windows to BIOS update). Work laptops have included Thinkpad, HP and Fujitsu/Siemens. Of all of those I am now certain my next full size laptop will be a thinkpad. End of story. If price is an issue then you could get a refurb/2nd user one here:- http://www.sterlingxs.co.uk/scpages/ibmtoshibalaptops.html Cheers, Al.
