I was just wonder what you guys think the best mainstream laptop brand is? I would like to keep within a budget of $1000
I would suggest getting a Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad. Their build is very solid and they'll last you a while. I've still got an old IBM Thinkpad 600E (Pentium II) that runs perfectly well without any repairs. The SL series of Thinkpads offer a good compromise between price and features, so you'll definitely find something there that suits your budget.
If you don't care all that much for build quality, you can go for a budget model from HP or a Dell. I recently got an HP Compaq 6710b from the office and although the body of the laptop bends slightly when I pick it up from diagonal corners, the performance is pretty decent - it comes with the 4GB RAM, 160GB HDD, and a Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4 GHz processor, DVD-RW and a fingerprint reader.
