I didn't really find any Toshibas I liked, with regard to design and keyboard and I've pretty much all but ruled out HP at this point. I think what I've realized too is these new consumer slim laptops put less emphasis on heat dissipation and ergonomics. I found a deal on the Lenovo T420 this weekend but didn't pull the trigger. I am going to keep looking for now as I don't really think I need to make a decision for a month or so.
Also started checking out this guy, and he looks quite promising:
