Asus, not to be confused with Acer, are a very reputable manufacturer. Better known for their motherboards a few years ago, they seem to make good tablets and laptops now too. I had one of their earlier laptops and I'll be honest and say it wasn't a HP, Dell or Sony, but it was certainly equal to or better than most other brands.

Toshiba are a fairly solid make to be honest, but nothing remarkable. Purely on value grounds, I think the middle Asus wins. Depends what the warranty etc is like I guess.
