I need to buy a laptop within the next week or so and I have a budget of around $1000. My budget pretty much puts macs out of the question so a pc laptop with have to do. Can anyone recommend a nice laptop with good battery life and a 15' or bigger screen. I was told I need a duo core processer and at least 2gig of ram. Are they any other things I should have in a laptop for graphic design? (I will be using photoshop,illustrator,indesign, no 3d rendering softwear.)

I would look at the HP dv6000t series, or the Dell XPS M1530.

A dual core processor is a must, not to mention one with a good amount of cache. 2GB of RAM should be a starting point, however my recommendation is buy the laptop with what ever the base amount of RAM is and then go to newegg and pick up a 4GB kit. They will usually run about $80 and upgrading will not void your warranty. Far as the graphics goes, I suggest a nVidia 8400 or better, but its not a must.

As far as the whole mac thing goes, you could buy used or refurbed directly from apple. Refurbed last gen Macbooks are going for about $800
