Dell Vostro - I've got a 14" version - very nice. Though not sure if you can get ssd with it. Perhaps their higher end models come with a hybrid drive.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

I have a Lenovo T420s (latest model is now T430s) with 120GB SSD however I removed the optical drive and put in a crucial M4 256 SSD. Also added another 4GB RAM. Got a few SQL2008 VMs running, it does the job.
What's your budget? Alienware?

Thanks for the suggestions, looking at this
HP SPECTRE XT TouchSmart Ultrabook
HP SPECTRE XT TouchSmart Ultrabook
15 inch full HD touch screen, with 32GB SSD and 500 Normal, I assume I could upgrade the SSD also, 4GB ram which I would also upgrade to 16GB. Thunderbolt, Ethernet, backlight keyboard plus more.
Comes in at 1200 inc VAT.Comment

I know you said 17" but what about one of these Lenovo carbon. It's got carbon in the name so must be good and for real men!Comment
