I just bought a new laptop for my gf. Went with windows 7 instead of windows 8. I guess you should think about the OS, that you want first since they are so different
1-2k is such a huge range, that you can pretty much get an amazing laptop. I have had a dell and a hp laptop. So far, I massively prefer HP over dell right now. The fact that I can do a clean OS install is so good. Maybe you can do it on dell to, but I don't remember.
I was looking at ultrabooks early, but so many have integrated graphic cards that I skip out on them. I think there is like a hand full of ultrabooks that have dedicated cards. And most I think are made by Asus. Asus, has some really sexy looking laptops and ultrabooks. Probably because they straight up took some design ideas from Apple IMO.
With a 1-2k budget, you should be getting one with a solid intel processor, a ssd hard drive, and a dedicated graphics card.
