Im looking to buy a really powerful and good looking laptop. I run a lot of big programs at once and download a lot of music.

Can you point me towards a very powerful laptop that will do what I want?

Budget is about a grand.

Lenova would be the best still giving me the best performance

I give preference to lenova.I am using it,here is no any problem with it.try it,might be compatible for your needs.

I found one on the net... it's Acer Gemstone Blue notebook... It comes equipped with Blu-ray Disc, NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT graphics featuring 512MB dedicated memory, Dolby audio, 4GB DDR3 dual channel system memory, 500GB 7200RPM SATA storage capacity, a 6-in-1 media card reader, Wireless N support, a built-in Acer Crystal Eye web camera, Dolby Home Theater and runs on the Microsoft Windows Vista Premium 64-bit operating system.
