    Laptop Recommendations - £1000 budget

    Hello everyone....

    I recently bought a Sony Vaio S-series notebook on a bit of an impulse. This was because they were offering an i7 upgrade for free, normally costing £230. However, I noticed that the palmrest is bent - whether that was me or from the factory it doesn't matter, I've only had it for a week and I've been very nice to it so it shouldn't be like that.

    I talked to Sony, and they said I could either straight up replace it...or have my money back. What I'd like to ask you guys is whether you have any suggestions on other laptops that I could buy if I chose to have the money back. Requirements are:

    - 13.3" Screen or less
    - Light weight (preferably around 2kg)
    - Metal chassis
    - Good multimedia performance
    - Decent battery life

    Anywhere up to £1000 is okay with me.

    The specs of the Vaio that I have at the moment are:

    - i7 620m 2.66
    - 4gb RAM
    - 320gb 7200rpm HDD
    - 13.3" Screen
    - DVD-RW
    - Built-in WWAN

    Can you think of anything to best that?! Thanks for any help you can give.

    Tim

    For £1000 you can buy yourself a very powerful laptop with screen of 15-17.
    But these 2 laptop i would reconmend buying if you want a 13-14" laptop:

    Thanks for the recommendations.

    I know I could get a 15 or 17 inch one...but I'm going to be carrying it around a lot, so I really don't want it to be large. And I just think that 13" is more or less the perfect size for a note book
