My opinion is that you need to actually see and touch the laptop you are going buy.

Do you like the feel of the keyboard?
Are the keys in the right place and the right size?

Most importantly, does the laptop in question run hot? You would be amazed at the differences in cooling power between brands and even between individual models of the same brand.

A laptop that overheats is probably one of the biggest problems facing laptops today. Also, hot laptops can make you sterile.

IBM for durability.
Sony if you have other Sony Gear.
Sharp has some great laptops, as well as Fujitsu.
Dell, supposedly the best service. (probably because they are good at selling laptops that break?)

Most other brands you would have to look at each model individually as they vary greatly between each model line.
