There are a ton of laptops under $1000 - any core 2 duo/4gb ram/320gb HDD laptop should come in for $600 +/- $100, and they all come out of the same factories in china anyway, so pick whichever brand you like.
I use a laptop, and a netbook, and of course the n900. I like options. My netbook (acer aspire one) triple boots meego, win7 ultimate, and MacOS. Yeah... I need too many OSes.

I'm eying a Toshiba R700 right now. It has 13.3" screen and it weighs only 1,3 kg, but it still has Core i3, i5 or i5 CPU instead of a low power and performance CPU. Don't know about the Linux support yet, and there is a chance that it's quite noisy, but it's just come to the market, so these things are soon to be found out.

Get an Apple laptop, they are genuinely better than the windows ones. As apple control the hardware and software completely I'm convinced they optimise them really well. I got a macbook 2 years ago and haven't looked back... I have windows (dell) work laptops and had HP ones in the past and although obviously cheaper they were also a lot crapper.
Failing that get a Sony.
If you're a geek and spend a lot of time on it, it's worth the extra for the good brand and quality.
If you just wanna go for cheapest then get a Dell - lots of people bash them but they're good for what they are.

I second leviathan, asus ul80vt is your best bet
I was going to suggest the Acer Aspire AS1551-5448
or
or the Asus ul20
But I don't think they could handle the 1080P playback you want

if you have a laptop that can run vista then no use buying a new lappy, just upgrade to windows 7.
It's VERY easy to work on the hardware on this laptop BTW. Just 5 screws and everything is accessible, it's as easy as a desktop PC.
