I personally perfer the Sony Vaio. I just bought a sony Vaio vgn-n230e and it is awsome. I used to own a toshiba, and the problem that i had with it was the noise the fan would make and the overall cheap feeling. You dont see that in the Vaio's. They are VERY quiet, and everything fits together nicely, and it is very modern looking. To me Sony just hands down is better overall than Toshiba.
The reason that Macs dont have very many viruses is the fact that for every 200 PC's there are, there is 1 Mac. They just arent that popular. Macs do look bad ***, and the cd drive feeds are nice, but other than that, they are mediocre. Except for the Ipod of course.
I was looking into buying a mac, but for the base price (1000.00) for i laptop, i was able to get a Sony for that price with almost twice the HD space, and twice the memory. They are just overpriced machines.
Another fallback of the Mac is the fact that independant software developers cant openly develope new software and applications. If they were to enable others to do that, it would make Macs a serious contender.
But, like most things, it will come down to your prefrence. Go with your gut.

I have both Sony and Toshiba computers. I think that this may just come down to personal preference. I like the outward styling of the Vaio much better than the Toshiba. I haven't had problems with either computer, but love Sony products in general as none of them have ever let me down.
Make sure that you get a good video card, enough memory, and a dual core (for running your antvirus).

They're both good. I have a Vaio and pretty much like it. The screen is beautiful. Even though it does get too hot at times.
If I had to choose.. I'd try Toshiba. You can always return it if you're not happy.

Neither. Get the best, get a Mac.
Benefits of Mac:
No viruses, or any other malware for that fact. (This is due to Mac OS X's UNIX underpinnings, not "lack of users" or "low market share.")
Seamless integration. Your hardware will work perfectly with your software, because both are designed by Apple.
You will enjoy many advanced features that are not available in Windows, even Vista. Features like Exposé, Spotlight Search, a built-in dictionary that can be invoked in any application with a simple keystroke, easy to build scripting using Automator, zero-configuration networking, system wide spell checking and many more.
Macs can dual-boot with Windows or run Windows within Mac OS X itself. With BootCamp, you can dual-boot with Windows and run any PC application, even high-end games.
Excellent support and customer service. Apple is well known for it's support. I had a wonderful experience with Apple when the logic board in my Mac mini went bad. (This was due to a power issue in my home, not the Mac.)
Great software. Most of the software made for the Mac is better than similar software for Windows. Crap doesn't survive on the Mac market. iLife is absolutely amazing. Mac OS X is compatible with many file formats, right out of the box. As I mentioned before, you can run Windows applications. With a Mac, you can have it both ways.
Beautiful hardware. Quality hardware. Apple puts the sex in tech. Apple hardware is always beautiful, as well as functional. Apple has extremely talented engineers. One look at an iMac will tell you that much. The hardware is of excellent quality and built to last. Macs are well known to have a longer life span than PCs.
Upgrades? Who needs them. A seven year old iMac can still run the latest release of Mac OS X. Sure, you can add more RAM or get a bigger hard drive, but your Mac will run beautifully for years to come. When a new version of Mac OS X is released, you won't need to scramble to purchase upgrades in order to run it. (Leave that to the Vista adopters.)
Crashing. It doesn't happen. I'm not saying Mac OS X is absolutely perfect, but it's damn close. Most problems are easily fixed within minutes. Macs don't require the constant maintenance needed by PCs.
Value. When all of these things add up, you'll actually be saving money, as well as time, in the long run. You'll find yourself actually doing more on a Mac. Things you never thought of doing on a PC.
22 million Mac users can't be wrong. We love our Macs, and for good reason. You won't find a Mac user "switching" to a PC, at least not willingly.
You will love a Mac, trust me. MacBooks start at $1,099. Don't waste any more time on a PC. I'm glad I switched.
