had enough of mac, looking for new OS and laptop

[Martin Naef]

Paul,

Win7 runs fine on the Apples I've tried it on. Give it a spin on the 
current hardware and see if you like the experience. If your current Mac 
is powered sufficiently, that might be a much cheaper route. You've got 
a grace period before you have to activate the license, BTW, so you 
might be able to try before you buy.

I can't comment on the hardware much. I'm using a Lenovo W500 at work 
which is fine but probably outside your price bracket, and definitely 
doesn't offer the battery life.
