Not an expert as such but the first one looks the best by far.

If you're using it for buisness, a few things I'd recommend :
- get a 7200rpm hdd.
- if you can get a P processor instead of a T, it'll be a little better.
My honest suggestion is a thinkpad; I've fallen in love with them and their prices are not that expensive if you want for a sale..
