Hello!
ATI is owned by AMD, so if you get an AMD CPU, chances are, you're getting ATI graphics along with it. Another thing is that if you're into playing with virtual machines, Toshiba disables hardware virtualization (aka VT-x) in their home models, so keep that in mind. For some folks, that can be a deal-breaker.
Personally, I can restore my entire setup here quite quickly from a backup, so I prefer the real thing when evaluating an OS. Performance and other issues can be one thing in a VM, and something that is quite different in 'the real world'.
Lenovo sounds like a good way to go. Their ThinkPads command a premium at the place where I buy my used computers for resale. They use Intel processors (I wouldn't go any lower on the CPU than an Core i3), However, they also use AMD processors, so CHECK FIRST.
Lastly, a quick check online reveals that you should be able to get a nice Lenovo with a Core i5, 500 GB HD, and 4 GB RAM [/size]in the $450 range - which should fit within that 450-euro budget...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
