Not sure if you can still get it but about a year ago I bought an Asus U56E. I think I paid about $700 for it at the time (probably pick it up cheaper now) and I think it matches what you're looking for. Good design, high quality construction, higher-end construction materials (aluminum chassis), etc.. It's probably a little larger than what you're looking for if the Cr-48 is your preferred size.
