If anything buy it off newegg and it is hard to chose, cause each laptop has something good in it..... i will do some research and try and one within your budget, that is good....

The asus one you have there looks pretty decent, has a decent cpu/gpu in it.

I think you can get a high configuration for Acer Laptop something like:
Acer TravelMate 77206807 Core 2 Duo T7500 / 2.2 GHz Centrino Duo RAM 2 GB HDD 250 GB DVD±RW / DVDRAM Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT HyperMemory up to 1GB Gigabit Ethernet WLAN : 802.11 a/b/g/n (draft) fingerprint reader, SmartCard reader Vista Business / XP Pro downgrade 17" Widescreen TFT 1440 x 900 ( WXGA+ ) camera-LX.TMQ0Z.011

This one is $1056 in the shoptoit website.
