I generally wouldn't touch Dell laptops with a pointy stick - very plasticy and cheap build.

For a few Euros more, consider a Sony Vaio.

Acer, Toshiba, Fujitsu Siemens and HP all have nice budget models for around €1000. Personally I dont like dell either but they would have cheap stuff for that much and less.
