You can get pretty much whatever you want for a grand. Although you'll find laptops of the £499 area that will do the job you seem to want it to do (Just general browsing/gaming/school work).
A Macbook pro would be most delightful :)
Yeah i'm not gna be using comps for anything mega. I just want something that's got a good screen, is fast and that's about it.
Well if you want a good screen and is fast and you have £1000 get a mac. DON'T go for a sony vaio...just don't. :P
Get a macbook or a macbook pro ;p
If all you want it for is a good screen and fast why are you spending £1000 on one anyway?
I got a Dell Studio 15.
Pretty fast and the screen is full HD.
Does the job for just under 600.
But to be honest I myself would reccommend a macbook/pro
Stick with a Dell. I have a MacBook and at times I wish I hadn't got a Mac.
You'll get much more for your money too.
Dells are pretty good for price and have some nice upgrades available.
Dell, HP, Toshiba, Acer - go with any of those :P
Just get a Macbook Pro. Job done.

Erm, Toshiba is the worst make ever, they sold me a laptop which ive now had for 1 and a half years, no USB's worth, the parts bellow the mouse are cracked and falling apart and the mouse is worn out. and this isn't from lack of care. They've just happened, also I had to get the keyboard replaced and the charger porn fixed. Also my dad has a Toshiba TV and it's so slow, it's terrible.
Get a mac book pro like me :) Although mine was £200 more cos i wanted the bigger screen :P
I'd never go back to windows, even though i could have got a much better laptop for so much cheaper, but my mac does what i need it to do.
You have the cash so get a macbook pro. Believe me I've had 2 £1000+ laptops (sony vaios) and they just don't compare to my imac or macbook pro in terms of performance, reliability, enjoyment using it etc.
Well dad's said as long as my exam results are decent he'll get me "£1000's worth of laptop" so just wondering what's out there!!
the macbooks seem popular lmao
Are they easy to learn how to use considering I've never used one before lmao. I cba to sit down and read a manual haha
+repped who I can so far, Alex.. gotta spread sorry
Get a £500 laptop and go on holiday with the rest. Do you need such a highly spec'd machine?
That was a quick change of mind.
lmaoo, I'm not decided yet, not planning on buying it for a few weeks. Atm it does just make more sense to save a few hundred quid on a machine with the same capabilities as one that's more money with an apple logo on... Admittedly it's not quite as simple as that and it would be great to have a macbook. Mehhhh, idk.
Just go to pc world or wherever and have a go with one that is out on display. The salesman at PC world when I went to buy mine was luckily an apple fan boy and he was telling me why they are so much better than PC's, how easy it is to learn from a pc and what I should do when I get home with it, it was as if he went back to the day he got his first mac and just wanted to make sure I have such a good time with mine to. :P
BUY A MAC AND GET A FREE IPOD TOUCH :)

I bought my MacBook from the Apple refurb store, turned out it was brand spankin' new, just End of Life! :)
I think it was around £670 at the time.
