Hey all,

I'm in the market for a new laptop, preferably one under $1000 (tax included) that has:

- A good processor
- A good battery life
- Possibly a decent sound card. It doesn't necessarily have to be a dedicated sound card, just one that is known to be half decent, even if it is integrated into the motherboard. (I use DAWs a lot, particularly Ableton).
- I don't care whether or not there is a dedicated GPU (A dedicated one would probably reduce the battery life anyway and I don't play games much anymore).
- Is fairly light and easy to bring with me anywhere.
- A 1920x1080 resolution (Or higher, but I doubt there are many laptops that have a higher resolution than this for under a grand).

Any suggestions would help, thanks so much everyone.
