I tend to concentrate more on the CPU spec, as you can stick as much physical memory in it as possible yourself, it's pretty cheap these days. If you need more disc space later you can get terabytes of external disc for sod all now. A decent CPU and plenty of RAM should speed up your RAW file processing. Everything else on your list can be done by pretty much any modern processor.
Other than that, check out reviews of machines you're seeing for sale at the box-shifters like Dabs. It changes on a weekly basis. PC Advisor always seems fairly balanced. They're all fairly elitist and will sass-mouth anything costing under £1,000 but you'll at least get an idea of what's better than what.
Sorry, I know you asked for a recommendation and got a waffle, but unless it's a machine bought in the last few months an exact model recommendation is next to worthless.
Good luck!

Three years on and two-thirds of my advice is null and void! Ah well, I'll stick to writing code I think, let some other poor sucker worry about the box on my desk

He can buy his own SSD if he thinks it's not fast enough after I've bought it for him...
as kindly posted in my laptop thread .... but i really want a full hd screen for filums ...
If you want storage space then you will have to sacrifice speed.
In some ways it's a bad time to be buying a laptop. At the moment any SSD over 250GB is still expensive in comparison with a conventional spinning disk. In 2 years time decent size SSDs will be a lot cheaper and they will be standard on new PCs at pretty much any price point.
When I bought my wife a laptop last year I took a deliberate decision to go cheap. It makes more sense to buy one for £280 now and then buy another one in 2 years time with an SSD and the next generation of processors than to spend £700 to get a decent one now.
This is the kind of thing I'd be looking at if I was buying now. It's £275 with an i3 processor rather than the cheapy Celeron or AMDs:
