Looking to buy a new laptop.

I'm looking to buy a new laptop around $650 and $700. I've read some reviews here on the forums but not quite sure what I should really be shooting for. I do a lot of work with hypervisors so I need something with pretty moderate performance but not extremely pricey. If anyone has any suggestions I would love some input.

I don't have a brand preference. I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to laptops.
