Go for a lenovo g500 or somthing like that. Cheap and has an IGPU thats not bad at all + good battery life and the screen is cheap to replace if you break it :D

(but that one you linked is great as well!)

The one you linked will be quite good, but that GT635 makes no sense as HD4000 are really just as fast and much more power efficient (if those are usable on that i3 processor or disabled in the Bios/Firmware).
