i can answer about SSD: for 100 EUR you can buy good 200-256GB SSD drive. But instead you cann buy good 500GB-1TB SHDD with integrated 40-80 GB of SSD and you can install any linux here, and it will work perfect fast And screen resolution bigger than 1366x768 gives you absolutely different experience, and it's awesome, but beware, it costs much bigger if you broke it, for example default 1366x768 LCD costs about 30-40 EUR, 1920x1080 LCD costs about 100-120 EUR. I'm talking about panels w/o touchscreen.
