Looks good to me, maybe look for an i7? Check the Jan sales out...
Also, possibly look in to a desktop, or is portability essential?
I been looking around and anything with i7 is over £600 for a laptop,

Let us know how it is bro
good choice, Toshiba laptops are quality.
dont get a laptop for producing It gets slow and laptops only gerally last a year or two then they become slow as hell
Talking from experience, No they are not infact far from it. I am using a Toshiba atm and id highly recommend you stay away from them. Cheap shit. Well I say cheap I paid £600 for mine brand new and its been nothing but shit since the day I got it. I wish i went with dell again best system I have ever owned.
I was actually going to suggest a laptop with the i5-4200m processor! I bought my sons one of these each for xmas:

Exactly same spec except 4GB less RAM, and obviously made by Lenovo. It's the fastest i5 processor for laptops according to benchmarks (benchmark score around 4500). Not as fast as i5 desktop processors, but for the money it's the best you are going to get.
The i7 laptops are generally quite a jump in price, and yeah they do bench higher, but the gain to cost ratio could be better. Also, with i7's you tend to have quite a bit of headroom. I have an i5 desktop, benchmark score of 6000, and I can run about 80 tracks of audio and 20 MIDI/VSTi tracks, plus group tracks, and vsts for each track. I can push it quite far, so with the i5-4200m processor you should be able to get about 75% of the total tracks I get on my desktop i5. Which is still pretty decent, especially with the option to bounce MIDI if things get tight on CPU.
My sons were playing some intensive games on their new i5-4200m laptops, and it seemed to handle it very well.
So for your budget, you have chosen the best processor. Which is the most important element when choosing laptops imo, then obviously manufacturer because Acer for example are not worth touching!
