Please help me choose laptop

Hello

I decided I want to buy new laptop soon, but I don't know which one to choose.

I will use it for Internet, work, watching movies, listening to music, you know all the usual stuff.

Features I am looking for:
- fast (my previous laptop was extremely slow which drove me crazy)
- intel core i5 or i7
- matte screen
- 15,6" screen
- quite long battery life
- light (I study far away from home and I will travel quite often)
- possibly thin
- good speakers
- resilient (it will be used for another 3-4 years or so)

I was thinking about Lenovo IdeaPad U510, Z580 or Z500, but they all have glare screen. ASUS N56 also seems attractive, but it is too expensive.

I have got max. 1000$ to spend.

Thanks in advance! All the best in New Year!

I also had an idea to buy laptop with glare screen and anti-glare screen protector (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anti-Glare-Screen-Protector-15-6-Lenovo-IdeaPad-U510-/261125804723).
Do you think the effect would be similar to matte screen? I often take the laptop outside and watch the movies, so I really need the screen to be visible in such conditions.
