Buying a New Notebook

sorry if it been posted. I search and didn't find anything specific. I'm looking for laptop mostly for downloading music and school. All I ask is for good ram and good HD space. My budget is $1000(tops). Any suggestions where it would be a good place to start? I did my preliminary research, but I don't know if it a good deal or not. I was looking at a HP 17'' 4GB ram 320gb HD Intel centrino T5800 for about $1000. I don't know if it a good deal but that what I'm interested in. I don't like AMD processors, so skip that option.Any help suggestions will be appreciated. PS: HP or Dells is what I prefer but would not mind buying something different. Buying a New Notebook
