How about a Dell?

I personally have a Inspiron 8600 series, which I got in January.

The 8600 is no longer being produced, but 6000 might be in your price range, depending on how you build it.

I have not had any major problems with it so far, besides some keyboard keys popping off, which I simply popped back on. It's no wonder that all of them are not off from all of this CD forum stuff!

I looked heavily into dell, since my dad gets an discount from work there. But the problems I found with them were, 1. more expensive processor upgrades and 2. hardly any Video power, very few models had dedicated memory for the video and even those that did got pretty expensive

If I had the money I'd look into Toshiba and Fujitsu, they have great notebooks that start around 1200. Also Acer usually has some hidden deals in its notebooks too. Gateway is also a worthy mention too.
