Do yourself a favour and use this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/laptop/ You can filter using many axes, like screen size, price, battery life, RAM, and so on... It'll give you a much better idea of what's available, rather than what's trendy.

Once you've selected a few promising ones you can check the reviews online.

On a side note, make sure you're not upgrading just for the sake of upgrading, most dev work has very low computing requirements. You could also buy second-hand and get something great for hundreds of dollar less than new. You can also buy new for considerably less than 1000$, especially in the U.S where prices are cheap. The laptop I bought back in college was 300$ and good enough to do any dev work I wanted (that's about the lower bound of what you can find brand new though).
