Laptop Advice - 5105R3 G580 V3-571G Z580

Hi, looking for a laptop recommendation for the €500-700 range (flexible) for daily college use including web browsing, programming, compiling, music + movies.
An SSD or maybe more RAM can be added later so they're not a worry. I'm looking at fast processors in the i5-i7 range, a durable build and good battery life.
I don't think ultrabooks would suit as they don't seem like great value but maybe you could recommend one or two?

The following on saveonlaptops.co.uk seem like good deals, which would be best? (notebookcheck.net reviews added)

The PCS UltraNote is not exactly an ultrabook by definition, but it is pretty slim and not too heavy. Excellent full HD IPS display, optical drive, battery life appr. 5 hrs (with a quad core i7), €875 in the following configuration:
