You don't need a 1TB SSD. 1 TB HD yes. Also if you can, get a 256GB SSD for use with the OS and programs. That way the system will run faster especially when booting and patching/updating.

I guess I should be looking at a decent speed (i5 minimum) with at least 8 gig ram (hopefully with a spare slot) and as much hard drive as can find. Although the drive isn't most important with a laptop for me, I can always use a large USB drive as the laptop is more for cleanup etc than for adding. I basically wanted a laptop as a second system and for use away from home.

Yes, I agree that an i5 at minimum and 8GB at minimum.
Also, you should get an HD screen (1920x1080) at 15.6" or 17.3".
