For under $1000 you can get some pretty nice laptops. I'm personally partial to Lenovo. Here is a nice one on amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-15- ... 2421890011I wouldn't buy either of those much less from amazon. As it is they are too big, 13 inches or bust. Plus that MacBook has a Core 2 duo in it, a processor that hasn't been put into anything new in 6 years. No no, keep an eye on ebay and best buy for prices. I would say $150-$200 off the normal price is a good way to go. 8GB of RAM and an SSD. Don't worry about it being more than 128GB as you should be using cloud storage anyway to make it easier to access your files anywhere you are. I like both OneDrive and Dropbox. Also, you can get an extra $50 to $100 off some laptops at best buy through the college discount. Just need an .edu email which many of us have through our Alumni emails from school.
The go to as of today would be either the Dell XPS 13 or the MacBook Pro with Retina display.

Maybe I will come back here and post cheap options when they come up. For example if you want to be chic, that super thin MacBook 12inch is on sale for $1000 at Best buy ($300 off). $950 if you use that extra coupon.
Another site that does daily deal look ups is deals.kinja.com. Its also a good place to shop around for deals for everyday living.
