If you want a cheaper option and you're not a gamer, I've beenvery impressed with my new laptop, the Dell Latitude E4310. It hasn't got outstanding reviews but I've found it to be fantastic, and I paid <£500 for a customised version with 8GB RAM, second internal HD (128GB SSD for main drive with a 500GB Hybrid as storage).
It easily handles me running 2 an Ubuntu VM whilst rendering video in After Effects and usually with lots of Chrome tabs and Photoshop. The fan is not noticable and even when running intensive stuff, the processors don't spike above 60 degrees according to Speccy.
It's reasonably light, and very well built with a sturdy chassis. It's a no-frills laptop when it comes to Graphics cards and won't run most modern games confidently, but for work it's fantastic.
