What are some good laptops between about $700-$1000?

What model is yours?

it's a desktop and it's prob 3 years old.. 3000 J series.. it doesn't have much memory but it runs perfect even with all of the shit i have on the hard drive and memory sucking programs i use.

Ah, I somehow managed to miss the fact that it was a desktop in your original post. I've been looking at some Lenovo laptops, but the cheap ones seem to be a bit underpowered according to the CNET reviews I've read. The 1.3GHz processor seems to be a major issue. I have no idea what kind of processor I should be looking for though .

For notebooks, buy one with intel atom n280 processor. I don't know if there are quadcore processor for laptops.

I'm using an acer notebook now and so far so good. I've heard from friends that the lcd monitor of acer laptops have problems.

I would still suggest that you buy an HP or a Compaq laptop. Toshiba is also nice but it heats easily.
