Compaq supposedly has the best battery life of those 3 but supposedly Toshiba has better screen/graphics capabilities.
I have a Toshiba Sattelite A105 and default battery is about 3 hours, but the factory usually comes with smaller battery lives, batteries are easy to find though.
Example:
http://www.laptopbatteries.com/
That site has quite a few. I would just get one that has the best performance Specs and appears to work best for what you want to do with it, then do even a google search for "Cheap laptop batteries" or check the manufacturer's website or even local computer shops. Somewhere you should find an affordable replacement for the model you get if you're not completely satisfied with the factory battery.
It's hard to find a perfect computer unless you have it custom built regardless of what type of computer it is.

Hi, bettery life is relevent to the spec of the machine and its use, ie, reading a disc will take more power than browsing a web page etc, the higher the spec the more power it will use. IF battery life is the most important factor in buying a laptop go for something with quite a low spec, otherwise battery life will suffer. Hope i have been helpful.

Processor speed and screen size are the main factors in a laptop's power comsumption. (Low speed/small screen good, fast speed/big screen bad.)
