New laptop for uni...suggestions?

Question

I'm heading off to university next year, and so I'm starting to look at new laptops, beacuase the one I have right now will NOT last my schooling...for sure.

I have a Dell Insprion 1525...I've had it for quite a few years, and I would say based upon my experience with Dell, and my Dad's experience with them, that I don't want to invest in another Dell laptop.  I'm also not a Mac fan, either.  I'm going to buy a PC, and so even though i realize that Mac specs may be impressive to some people,  I'm not interested in switching OS when I know how to work windows.

I'm willing to pay the money at this point if it's worth it...I'm looking for a fast, powerful computer that will last...I'm not a gamer, so I don't need fancy video cards or anything.

What would y'all reccomend?

I'm extremely happy I went with the HP Envy 14 Beats Edition laptop. I'm not one of those people that, when they need a new laptop, just runs to Staples and gets a crappy $400 laptop. But I'm also not one of those people who has the money to go to the apple store to get a $2000 laptop. 

After doing some research on the net I found that this is one of the few laptops in market which is comparable to macbook in terms of looks.But the caveat is that its quite heavy(5.8 lbs) and the battery backup is around 2 hours with power save settings. 
But the laptop is excellent in terms of heating since its very low , much better than any other laptops I have used in past. 
Overall for the configuration, looks ,performance and price I have to say that it is "ENVY" of all the other laptops in market.
