Good back-to-school laptop?

Hello,

I'm going into 9th grade, and am looking for a new laptop/netbook, but there are so many choices I can't make up my mind. The computer needs to meet the following requirements:

• <$1000

• Fingerprint scanner (optional)

• Good RAM and CPU (for 3D rendering)

• Durable

• Lightweight

• Wi-Fi

• Bluetooth

• Webcam

• Fast

If it's even possible to make a laptop like this, please tell me how!

Update:

I know how to assemble a computer/laptop if I can get the parts, and I know that's cheaper, but I don't know where to get the parts...

Thanks again!

Update 2:

I don't want a mac, because the graphics are terrible, the CPU is slow, and they are the most breakable computer I have ever seen (my friend broke his in half by dropping his book bag)

    Well I might get some hate for this but I would say the MacBook air, it might stretch your budget but it meets your need, and it's so light and thin you can throw it inn your backpack with ease and os X is really user friendly

    Good luck getting the perfect laptop!

    Edit: another option for me is a Lenovo Thinkpad t530 with some upgrades (more specifically the graphics card cuz the default is integrated), since looks isn't on your wishlist but performance is than this would be the perfect choice especially if u buy online you can get huge discounts and have money for some upgrades so that it becomes or gets close to your perfect machine.

    Another edit: you can buy parts online and upgrade the ram from 4gb to 8gb for less than 100 dollars
