Not to downplay anything else you wrote, but to answer the initial question, it is really everything. I will be using it for typing for the most part, so the keyboard and ergonomics are key (pun intended). I just can't get used to those island style keyboards that are on all the 13" Toshibas and am trying to stick with something similar to the flat keyboard I have now on my Dell. I probably should have emphasized that last part earlier to make my thought process seem less arbitrary. I'm certainly not doubting that they are well-built, but the ergonomics of all the ones on the Toshiba website have keyboards that don't seem like they would be comfortable to what I'm used to.

Ronin- I have been checking Toshiba's website and laptopmag.com for reviews.

Steve- Thanks for the input. I am the same way with my keyboard, it's a bad habit.

Matt- Sony's tend to be quite expensive and mimic Apple's island style keyboard which I hate.

At the risk of looking like a pedantic idiot, here is CNET's take on it. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20003544-1.html I believe Office Depot has the new Thinkpad Edge on display, I'm going to go check it out to compare it to the conventional Thinkpad.
