    As mentioned in the other thread check out pcspecialist, most of their laptops have dedicated gpu's which you probably won't need if you're not interested in gaming but you can build to your own specs so they're worth a look.

    I doubt you'd find many new laptops that run windows 7 anymore, I didn't like the look of 8 either but having used it for the past month I actually quite like it now, have a look it for touch screen laptops which supposedly make the windows 8 experience a lot better.

    For €1000 and no GPU you should be able to fit in a Haswell i7 processor and a good sized ssd with a full HD screen. If build quality is important check out some if the premium ultrabooks. I'm at work at the moment so don't have the time to be searching for anything right now!
