    Budget: 750
    Memory: 16 Gig (this is a must). Could buy one with 4 but must be able to upgrade to 16 Gig.
    Processor: Would like to be i7 if possible. But not essential.
    OS: Linux. Will probably have to get windows and put ubuntu on myself.
    Usage: Programming
    Mobility: Mainly around the house. 15 inch screen ok.
    Hard Disk: 0.5 TB fine. SSD too expensive.

    Have looked around, one very good option would be this one from computeruniverse: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90560134/toshiba-satellite-l50-b-181.asp

    But I don't like the idea of a German keyboard.
    So I am looking for something similar from dabs, argos, dell, komplett - whoever.

    Komplett do this i7 with 8 gig for similar price: http://www.komplett.ie/product/zkb-01lap/80035263/toshiba-satellite-l50-b-1h1/details.aspx
    I could get the other 8 gig I need from Crucial.

    Any help greatly appreciated.
