You can get pretty much any good laptop at that price. However, I can recommend some good ones, and warn about bad brands.

DO NOT GET:

Acer

HP

Compaq

eMachines

Good Brands:

Gateway

Toshiba

Mac

Dell

Sony

Asus

Or, you could build one if you know enough about computers.

For a specific one, I couldn't say exactly. Macs are great for graphic design, video and picture editing.

The rest, it all depends on which model you get. Here is a certain model that looks good from each brand. Hope this helps!!!

If you can go a little higher (US$1,450 - maybe £820?), look at the Gateway 7811FX. I've been in the business for a long time, so it takes a lot to impress me, but this laptop overwhelms me. Power, graphics (nVidia 9800M), upgradeability, price ...

It's large (and a bit heavy) if you're going to lug it around by hand (get a wheeled case), but it's all you need for both a laptop and a desktop. (My wife's works fine as a web server while she's playing World of Warcraft, talking on Skype and watching TV. I'm drooling, but I recently bought a 6860FX, so ...)

What are you planning on doing with said laptop?

Gaming - Dell, Lenovo, Alienware

Graphic Design - Mac

Programming - Dell, Mac, Lenovo, Sony

Don't buy HP anything. they are junk. Compaq is decent for general purpose, but doesn't have the muscle needed for the above processes.

Buy wahtever you want, but the ones I listed above are good for what I've listed them as.

Acer aspire 6920g is a great laptop for the money you pay.
