Choose whichever one is the best mechanically - they are all pretty much similar spec wise but you will want it to be still in one piece a year down the line of being dragged around by a child. Any of them not made out of cheap plastic??

Dunno about you but I certainly don't have everything on wikipedia in books at home. I don't live in a library.

Yeah, but since half the stuff on wikipedia is wrong, do you really want to use it as a teaching tool?

I'm a big fan of Tosh, but TBH you won't go far wrong with any of those three.

Best advice I can give for buying a laptop is avoid 'shop' brands, Fujisu and Sony (the latter being overpriced and often proprietary). Which you seem to have already done.
