I need to chose between 2 laptops this one: http://www.mediamarkt.nl/mcs/product/LENOVO-IdeaPad-G71... and this one http://www.mediamarkt.nl/mcs/product/TOSHIBA-Satellite-... and I don't really know which one is better, thank you for the help in advance.
EDIT: Here is a easy comparison http://www.mediamarkt.nl/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Mult... (It's in dutch I'm sorry for that).

I would go with the Lenovo - bigger, higher res screen, better graphics, for very slightly more.

Beware they're both likely to feature slow HDs though, and they both only have 4GB RAM - be prepared to quickly find yourself thinking about upgrading to 8GB and an SSD

Thank you for the really quick response, upgrading RAM won't be a problem for me but can I put a ssd in the laptop or do I need to have external hdd and ssd inside or somethin?

You can replace the HD with an SSD - the Crucial MX100 512GB would be a great choice, for about £150 - it will come with cloning software, which you would use to clone the HD onto the SSD (have the SSD attached to the laptop with an external Sata drive caddy that you will need to source from somewhere) - once the cloning is done, you shutdown, remove the HD (find a vid on YouTube on how to do this if your instruction manual doesn't cover it), fit the SSD in its place, and reboot.

You can then use the HD as an external drive for additional storage should you wish (fit it in the at external drive caddy)

Hope that makes sense - it's very easy to do
