I have an Acer 8104WLMi which I have had for the past 3-4 years now.
It has served me very well but now the USB ports apart from 2 work.
The paint on the clickers have rubbed out due to an inital over heating problem (now kinda solved with a USB underneath external fan).
Some keys on the keyboard have to be pressed with allot of force to work.
The Power cord has problems connecting to the laptop and have to turn and push it in a few times before it can charge.

I paid for this laptop around £1,500 when it came out as it was the best spec and I know now ill probably get peanuts for it.
I have upgraded the ram from 1gig to 2gig.
Everything else works fine - Wireless NIC, Blutooth, DVD recorder etc

How much do you think im likely to get?

I want to invest in a new dell or similar spec, reliable laptop.
Im looking to spend around £1500 as last time but for the best money can get.
Im always using my laptop so it will pay off.
I use it for movies, games, streaming, backups, Connecting to the TV, Pictures etc

I have seen the - DELL XPS M1730 LAPTOP CORE 2 EXTREME 2.8GHZ, sold at around £1600 - £1700 on ebay
Which is said to be the best laptop in the world (or according to some sites).
What would you guys suggest I get having the best spec on the market or close as.

Oh and major must point - Battery life should be a minimum of 5 hours.

Cheers!
