Answer 1

Alot of people say Sony, and Apple are the best. And you can definitely get one for that price range. But if you want to go cheaper try some of the high end HP's, Toshiba's, Compaq, and Dell. The high end ones usually run for around $1000-1200.

Answer 2

The top choice at that budget would be the Toshiba X205;

The Toshiba Satellite X205 is a high-end multimedia notebook designed for enthusiasts wanting the best of both the high-definition and gaming worlds. Despite being larger than a typical 17” notebook, the X205 looks modern and visually refreshing. It runs cool and quiet and is a great overall performer. A fabulous set of harman/kardon speakers, an HD DVD-ROM drive, a plethora of multimedia ports, and the latest and greatest Nvidia DirectX 10 graphics card make the X205 a very complete package, especially at the $1,999 price point. The X205-S9349 is a well-rounded entertainment system with all the bells and whistles, and I do not hesitate to give it my full recommendation.



Pros:

Great graphics performance
Phenomenal sound system
Runs extra cool & quiet
Surprisingly good battery life
HD DVD-ROM drive
Abundance of ports (HDMI)
Pleasing design
Good feeling keyboard
Good value
Cons:

Display needs a contrast boost & better viewing angles
Glossy lid may scratch if not taken care of
Keyboard feel needs to be more defined
Thick and heavy, even for a 17”
Not configurable

Answer 3

You'll want at least 1 GB of RAM and a decent video card. If you need to lug it around, I would recommend something that isn't too heavy. Probably a 15.4" monitor will do fine.
