I am a Student who will be going to University in October to study Computer Science and I am looking at purchasing a laptop for use at University. It will not be my main rig. I will have a desktop in my room which I will bring from home, and the University I will be attending has excellent computer labs which I will also take advantage of. I do however want a laptop for use anywhere. It will likely be used alot for taking notes, looking at Presentations, light programming, web browsing, research and word processing. These tasks are not too strenuous GPU wise and I have no plan on doing any sort of heavy gaming on this laptop, as I will have my main rig with me as well for that, should I want to game at all. I do however want this laptop to last several years and I want it to be very quick for the tasks I want to do. My budget is around £600 and I am looking for recommendations.
The laptop I am currently looking at is the one below:

Thoughts on this one and any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
