Best laptop under $1,000?

[Salvador]

I'm looking for the best laptop under $1k. I have been considering Dell, HP/Compaq, Toshiba and emachines. What's going to give me the best bang for the buck? Quality? Features?

I'm not a laptop guy, so I really don't know what I should be looking at.

TIA,

Sal
