Astray recently sent me a pm asking me what I thought he could get in a notebook around the $1000 range, particularly a sony vaio. In my replied I said that I thought Vaios would be poor value for money etc etc.
So I thought I'd start a thread that people can contribute to with opinions, ebay auctions etc.
What you need to look for is essentially a 2ndHand or new Notebook for $1000. Astray also seems to want
DVD Burner (but not essential)
Lots of RAM (4GB)
Decent Processor (Core2 or better I'm guessing)
Here's some things I've found on the Bay

personally
for notebooks i've found www.graysonline.com.au
to be the place to look
specially the QA failed ones,
some just have scratches and have huge price mark downs

you should be able to egt something decent for the $1000 and brand new.
JB is probably the best bet and you can always get a bit more out of them.
Vaio is over priced...
I like ASUS, always have. I have an ASUS G1S ATM and love it...

Yeah I got a F3SV. The best part is is that at least if it fails (which the 8600 chipset has) the service center is right here in Brisbane. Sometimes they take more then 1 go to fix it, but the key to knowing when it's all good is when your computer is returned to you filled with black ants.

This one. At that price it's a screamer
Not quite as good as the Toshiba A300 but I doubt you'll get one of those for less than 2k
ASUS FTW!
Otherwise a Toshiba.
