Toshiba has good features and great track record.....it is also highly rated in Consumer Reports.
Alma, you did not mention MDG, which runs full page ads in the paper every day! i have my suspicions that they use cheap parts,
and their service is a question mark! (based on the experience of a few friends who bought one)
With laptops, it is smart to buy the extended warranty, as the screens are very susceptable to damage....
i look fwd to seeing the results of your survey, Alma.

Best laptop for what?
Kewl - Apple & Toshiba with their widescreens. Apple also has the auto-backlight keyboard.
Size - Sony & Apple. Sony is the Master at making things small. Apple packs a bunch of stuff into a relatively thin enclosure.
Battery Life - Not sure. I use a Compaq tablet PC at work and it's got great battery life! Not sure about the others you've listed though.
Toughness - Panasonic & Toshiba. They both make "ruggedized" versions of their laptops which make them big & bulky, but also make them more or less indestructible.
On-the-fly video editing - Apple hands down.
Wireless - For a cellular connection, anyone as long as you install a Sierra Wireless card. 802.11b or g is included in various models from all manufacturers. Ditto for Bluetooth. Not everyone needs these though so determine your needs before you buy. If you don't buy it up front ensure you can add it later.
