Hello everyone,

Is there a laptop with the following specs:
16GB RAM or more,
SSD 256GB or more,
i7-4710HQ or better,
1920x1080 resolution or better,
Battery life - not important really,
The graphics card is not of any importance
Aw! And price should be below £900 :D

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You will pay a premium (usually 200% markup) for preinstalled SSD's and 16GB of RAM. I recommend buying one with the quad i7 you desire and adding your own SSD and extra 8GB of RAM. Here are some options: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-15-6-Inch-Touchscreen-Notebook-i7-4720HQ/dp/B00UAT7MKM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443726047&sr=8-1&keywords=I7+4720HQ or http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GP60-2QE-15-6-Inch-Notebook-i7-4720HQ/dp/B00WK0TKIQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1443726047&sr=8-2&keywords=I7+4720HQ + http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-CT102464BF160B-PC3-12800-Unbuffered-NON-ECC/dp/B006YG8X9Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1443726240&sr=8-4&keywords=crucial+1600+204+pin+8gb + http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B00P736UEU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443726280&sr=8-1&keywords=250gb+ssd These will give you everything you are looking for. Unfortunately, most quad i7 laptops are going to come with a dedicated GPU anyways, which increases their price. Here is another option which contains the U series i7, which I don't recommend for rendering and other graphic software: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-15-6-inch-Convertible-Touchscreen-Notebook/dp/B00S6DP9M2/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1443726397&sr=1-2&keywords=ssd+i7+16gb

@Naturesninja! So true!!! I'm planning on this myself! Do you think SSD SATA III vs PCIe/M.2 is noticable in everyday windows life?
 
The laptop will boot up / shut down faster and programs will launch / close faster.

Once a program is up and running though you will not notice any difference compared to a hard drive unless of course you / the program needs to access data from the HDD / SSD.

No, but the later does weigh less if that's a concern. Haha. But if you have a M.2 SATA slot I would say fill that spot first as I often see the Samsung EVO M.2's at the same price as the 2.5" SSDs
