That's not a business warranty - collect and return means you have to post the machine or parts back and have the replacements sent out to you which can mean potentially quite a bit of downtime. A business next day onsite warranty means an engineer is sent with the part next business day meaning downtime is minimal, the impression given is the machine is going to be used for work rather than entertainment in which case the warranty could be important.

The quote you've posted looks a little pricey to me for the spec and from what you've said of the requirements the graphics card sounds a bit overkill. If general usage performance and responsiveness is important I'd recommend going for an SSD, at least a small one as a boot drive.
