Some Dell notebooks are nice but not in their consumer line.

I'd say get a well-reviewed sandy bridge, or opt for an Ivy bridge chip if you can find one that you want in your price range.
Read an article just the other day that said from a public poll taken that Acer/Gateway was best in review. Then it talked about Samsung was ranked one of the lowest and was one of the most returned due to poor manufacturing.
