If you're seeking a quality, well-designed Windows laptop, despite the Microsoft adverts telling you otherwise, there's no reason why you couldn't consider a MacBook Pro. Grab the new 13" version for £899 and you can quickly create a Bootcamp partition and install Windows. Problem is, how large should you make the Windows partition? Are you going to use this as your primary operating system (thus requires a large partition) or will you just boot in to Windows from time to time? Once you've created your Windows Bootcamp partition, you can't easily change this again from either Windows or OS X.

CampTune for Mac OS X is free pre-release software that will enable you to boot in to a CD that will then allow you to resize your existing Windows partition, without it affecting the contents of each partition.
