new laptop

UPDATE:
I went with the second one listed below and I can't wait to get it! This will be my first new computer in 8 years!



So this is not the post I was working on yesterday but this came up yesterday and I wanted to ask all of you for a bit of advice. I will be posting a new regular update soon though but until then, My wife and I have been discussing getting a new laptop for me so we can at least skype together when she is away for Navy training. We finally decided to go for it yesterday and I started researching. I really want something that will last for a while technology wise and I'm looking to spend around $1000. I have customized a laptop on AVADirect for about $1100 that I like a lot but I was curious if you guys have any suggestions. What I have so far is this:

I would really appreciate any input you all have.
