laptops

I need a laptop. I need to spend less than $1,000 USD and my only major want is that it support SXGA or better screen resolution. Dell, Gateway and a couple of the other major manufacturors offer new or refurbished units starting around $800 but I can't find any recent models under about $1,300 that have SXGA or UXGA screens. Do any of you have any recommendations? I'm not picky about brand or really anything other than better than XGA resolution. New or factory refurbished would be best but just plain used would be fine if it was a swell deal. Something this would be just perfect if it just had a higher-res screen.
