If there is any model that will have all this and come at around 650 £ -800£

I am banking on some kind of help here.I am totally confused.
One of my friends suggested that I go in for Toshiba M100-P340(Singapore)
but I can't find that model in UK region.Can anybody tell me what is the equivalent of it here in UK.
I was also inclined towards Dell XPS 1210.Any views on that.
