I like the 2 Years old "used" laptops, selled by lapstore... maybe this
one would fit your needs, for "small" money:
http://www.lapstore.de/a.php/shop/lapstore/lang/x/a/20124/kw/Lenovo-ThinkPad-W530-2447-GW3-2463-A24

Intel Core i7-3720QM (4x 2,6 GHz / 8 MB Cache / 45W TDP)
16GB RAM (4x 4GB, max possible is 32GB)
15,6" TFT LED Display with ThinkLight for working in the dark ;)
1920 x 1080 Pixel (FHD)
1x 180GB SSD in it (space for 2x 2,5" HDD)
8xDVD+/-RW Dual Double Layer
Intel HD4000 CPU graphics, for progging
NVIDIA Quadro K1000M (2048 MB), for other things (linux driver works very well)
(incl. Windows 7 Prof. license)
= 750€

I am using an Dell Latitude with i7-3632QM (4C/8T), make -j6 V=s works
fine... and the Samsung SSD with 1TB is fast + big... backup is done
every X weeks to a local Server via rsync.
