Looking for Laptop , budget of $1000

Just one thing that is a must.
The graphics card must be better than a GT 555m.

As for the other components I'm just looking for the best deal possible.

Preferably less than $1000 but if deal is good then it can be $1000.
I know HP has some in the $900 range that fit the specs but if possible I try to avoid HP because I have not had good experiences with their laptops. If the deal is good enough, I can budge on it.


Thanks
