New Laptop.... (What to get?)

[OneTimeAce]

Ok I am in the process of looking for a new laptop.

I currently have a Sony Vaio, and I wasnt sure on what to get next. I just got my lap top about 6 months ago, and it is just made kind of cheaply.

I am looking at spending $1,500 or less. I want a good screen resolution, I currently have 1280x840, and I cant really 4 table well.


I want a nice sturdy laptop, open to all kinds EXCEPT for Apple, I hate them and will never buy an Apple.


What kinds are good these days, top performers, and I am looking at 80GB-120GB.


Thanks.
