Laptop for linux

Hello,

I'm looking for a laptop for work. The OS will be Linux or dual boot/virtual machine because I may need to use Adobe photoshop.


My max budget is ~800 euro but I want the best "bang for the buck".
Recommended specs are:
8 GB or more RAM,
4 core CPU,
SSD.

Current options:
Acer Aspire 7
Lenovo IdeaPad 320

I don't think that linux has any special system requirements.Just get a inspiron or somehting as those are already the nest bang for the buck

Dell offers a wide selection of their laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled, meaning they port peripheral support for them and make it easy to update firmware.

I personally like Latitudes, but a quad core Latitude is going to be well above $800. Vostros and Inspirons are alright too.
