I never worked on HP or Dell under warranty. Of the three choices you gave, I'd go with the Toshiba. If nothing else, Toshiba is pretty good at giving in to the customer after the warranty has expired. Especially if you have more than one issue, but I have only seen one person get a new laptop from Toshiba. The worst Toshiba laptops were the 6100 series - they have a life time warranty now and the first gen Quosimo - we shipped those directly to Toshiba for repair.

Consider Toshiba's extended warranty. You can drive your car over the laptop and it'll be repaired or even spill the beverage of your choice on the keyboard and it'll be fixed. The basic warranty in no way covers vehicle damage or spillage.

Other than that, I like Fujitsu these days. I have had mine for almost a year and it runs 24/7 without problem.
