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:-
