It had plus the express card slot!

But looks wiser to take the Toshiba SATELLITE C650-12D for what you mentioned, with windows 7 x64 if its possible, so you can upgrade the ram 2x2GB DDR3.

The second one would probably be a better choice, even though they are both good computers. They should perform very similarly, although windows 7 would perform better than vista

The first thing I will do is installing 7 ultimate 64bit so don't look at the OS

Well, yes and no. You need a good processor in the mix with your ram, or else you're not going to notice much of a difference.
This Laptop would be good for what you need, especially since it has the 4 GB of DDR3 ram, and yes the processor is a Pentium Dual Core, but it's not a bad processor. It'll be decent enough for what you need it for.
It can also play games if you wanted it to.
