Im looking to buy my first laptop. Just wondering what some of you would recommend, company, model and store or company bought from. $1500 max price

I will have some music and video usage on it. Not a big gamer. Just internet and such.

Also looking for a good size ex. harddrive for back up and music library usage. 500gb-1T

Thanks!

Any $1200 and up Asus laptop will do a really fine job.  
Another brand to look into is Lenovo which is old IBM thinkpad (very reliable and durable)
