Later this year I plan to get a good laptop that an i7 processor, at least 8GB ram, at least 1TB drive and a good dedicated graphics card with at least 2GB ram, 17.3" screen with full HD resolution. It doesn't make sense to skimp. All that happens is that you then need to replace sooner rather than later.
The point being, buy the best you can afford because it will last you much longer then the system you skimped on.
As for Windows 8.1, it runs rather well using Classic Start menu and it feels like Windows 7. There are some differences, but those don't matter in most daily use. And if you need help, just go go Google and you can find the answer.
