Namaste fellow forumers,
I sifted through the relatively insightful laptop brand thread; it was helpful but a smidgen bit off topic for what I require so forgive me for hogging my own space over here.
My budget is £999 ('bout 1000 bucks) and my objective is to complete my dissertation as quickly and as smoothly as possible.
I'd love to enjoy a machine, preferably built for a Windows 7 Pro OS. It's main use will be for programming and multimedia work... would be cool if it didn't shit itself running medium-high level gaming as well, although it is not a main concern right now.
As much as aesthetics make me all tingly downstairs, my primary priorities are performance and reliability. I've included a metaphor of my research so far represented by me (a spider), exploring the Web (a web).
tl;dr version: What is the best new laptop for under $1000?
