What laptop would best suit me for university?

I'm going into second year in the fall to study in an English and Political Science program and I need a high performance and durable laptop that doesn't weigh too heavily. I've had a Toshiba L300 for the last 3 years and it's wearing out, trying to stay clear of Toshiba and Apple. Anything up to $1000. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thank you! :)
