Well, I think when it comes to a PC, one has to think about what they are looking for personally. Are you looking for speed, portability, accessibility, power? Are you using it for business, pleasure, gaming? There are many things to consider when choosing your next personal computer.
If you using it for business, I recommend the Lenovo ThinkPad T450s. This laptop is $953.10 from the Lenovo website and you can purchase it here.

It has a 14 inch anti-glare display and the computer itself has an award winning keyboard. Built for functionality, this laptop will fulfill all of your business needs!
Is it just for personal use or are you a novice PC user?
An apple laptop may be your speed, it is very user friendly and it's almost virtually impossible to get a virus! I like my computers with a little more beef to them though!
Are you a gamer, like I am?
I recommend building your own gaming computer, yes it can be pricey but you can customize every aspect from RAM to what color the power light it. It isn't ridiculously difficult and you can fit it to whatever your needs are. However, if aren't looking to spend a lot of extra time and money building the computer of your dreams there are other options.
If you are looking for something affordable but dependable you might try the Acer Aspire E5-573G. This laptop starts at $479.99 on Amazon and the specs are impressive for the price. It starts with a Intel Core i5 5200U processor, 8GB of RAM, 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 940M 2GB video card, and Windows 10 Home.

However, if you really want to step up your gaming experience and you have the money you should try the Alienware 18 series laptops, they are completely customizable (which changes the base price of $2.199.99) and trust me, they are beasts!
