Costco has the Asus GL752v for $999 right now. I bought one today. $1082 out the door in my area.
these are real handy, and very small footprint: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YFI1EBC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1

It has a host of things I havent the slightest clue what they are... but it does have a 128G SSD and a 1TB HDD.

cool, then it is probably a M.2 SSD as primary, small form factor. They are now down in price, about the same as a conventional SSD.
I think I may get one for my HP EliteBook 820 and try it out. (I got the EliteBook 820 on eBay for $300, it was quite a bargain, I got a second one for my wife)

Ended up going with Lenovo P50 with 1TBssd. So far I like it, other than windows 10 which I will get use to.
I just bought a refurb Panasonic CF-C1 on ebay for $150. Reversible display/touch screen, Intel i5, 256 Gb HD, 4 Gb ram, Win 10 1607 64b, 2 batteries. It's a throw-away field PC.

I found the memory was pretty good as long as you don't shake them.
I guess I am one of the few who has never had any problems with Dell. They are my go-to guys for all of my computers. I've got a 17" Dell Precision hooked up to two 24" monitors and am well pleased with it. It has performed well and hasn't baulked at anything I have asked it to do. SSD and 64 bit capabilities are awesome.
No, you can't get this for $1,000, but a $1,000 computer will not handle what I want reliably. Remember, in all things electronic, you get what you pay for.
