Laptop advice

I am going to be buying a laptop soon and I am not sure what to get. I will mostly be using it for Office applications and browsing, although I have a few VHS tapes to put on to DVD and will do some very basic editing. Can any one please advise. I have found these 3 and would like to know which is better and the main difference that i would see. Many thanks,
