I guess a valid answer would be what are your needs for the device?
I personally would get one of fully specced... but that's because most laptops simply do not fit the bill as my primary machine. This gets close. Though, not really enough CPU cores to spread around to VMs. I don't however buy laptops, I build my own systems.
Realistically, get a modern video card from either AMD or nvidia and processor from either AMD or intel, with about a 17" screen and you should be fine for most uses.
If you just need something to browse the web and some light duty computing, a 500$ box from newegg will probably just fine, pick a major manufacturer to ensure you dont get total shit
