Right, OK, well, we are borderline on this budget then, are you sure you don't want a desktop, they are much better value for money. Anyway, the one thing i have noticed is your CPU is a lot lower than the rest. I'd try to get a quad core i7, if you can't, get an i5 at least. To save some money, you can get the glossy screen rather than the matt version. Otherwise, spec looks fine.
