New laptop: any recommendations c. €500 - €1500?

    As you can see from the other thread my existing Sony Vaio is in trouble which is costing me €400 to repair. When it's repaired, I've decided to give it away to a friend who has no computer.

    1. I'm avoiding Dell because the fan on the Inspiron was far too noisy and intrusive. I made the move to Sony from it in 2008.

    2. I'm avoiding Sony because I find their after-sales service to be verging on criminality - they wouldn't let me deliver my laptop for repair and stated that I had to pay €180 for them to collect it. What a rip-off. (Parts and labour were on top of that price.). In addition the laptop only lasted 3 years.

    So, what would you recommend? I'll be using the laptop primarily for writing and, to a lesser extent, for digital photography stuff.
