It really doesn't matter about "brand", it's about models line-up of brands.
Toshiba is not all "round", look at Tecra line.
Inspiron is consumer class laptop. Vostro is entry-level business class. Vostro 5460, I'm not sure it's even business class anymore

Satellite is also consumer class laptop.
Thinkpad T series, however, is proper business class laptop. T430 not necessary spec with "lousy" screen and "bad" battery. If you buy retails, you are stuck with the spec Lenovo Malaysia push out. If you get through corporate account, you can demand HD+ screen (1600x900) and bigger capacity battery.
Anyway, for all the models you mentioned, except Thinkpad T&W (which production is gradually being moved back to Japan), the rest are all manufactured in China by the big OEM.
If you appreciate Thinkpad T430 good built quality and ventilation, then for Dell you should consider Latitude E5/6 series, or for HP Elitebook, or for Toshiba Tecra, or for Asus PRO.
And proper business class laptop is not going to be "cheap".

Thanks for the suggestion man. I will probably go with lower range intel M laptops or go back to T430... at least they have improved the screen this time...
Elitebook is out. I have used an elite book back in 2012 (forgot to mention earlier). The fan can be very loud and the heat is hardly dissipated from the inside. For that price, this kind of issues should be taken care of.
time for you to try business / corporate line up laptops, I agree dell latitude / precision series or lenovo thinkpad series (those expensive one) will have better quality than most consumers laptops in the market now...
One thing to note from Lenovo is their lousy customer service...my employer is a big fan of Lenovo and all our developers used to use Lenovo thinkpads..but the customer service is ... speechless -.-
I am not trying to complain..but sadly we pay so much to get so much pain...
of you have one more alternative for consumer line up ... which is apple... it has overall best keyboard, best touchpad, overall best built quality, best overall battery life... if you still want run windows, you can always bootcamp and install windows in it... the cons is the price tag and the screen not yet retina yet, but its TN panel screen already very good and even beats many so-called IPS screens in the market (unless 15" at RM 6799 with outdated ivy bridge processor)
if not for work... we actually do not need to rely on windows that much (compare with 10 years ago)... even for architecture student, they can actually adapt mac earlier...
just for positive consideration and discussion, i sad at market no one actually making good quality laptops...
Well, apple spec is outdated yet I need to pay for the most advance price out there. -.- sad...
