I've been looking at the G560 of the Essential Laptops, which isn't a Professional laptop. Will it be lesser quality because it isn't a Pro?

I've honestly never used a Lenovo consumer machine, so sadly I wouldn't be able to tell you..
It's a lot easier if you have a set budget on mind. The specs for this one are actually great, and having a Core i3 is faster than Pentium processors, but to be honest I don't believe you'll need it.
At that budget, you could get a well configured Thinkpad in the SL series.. driven by a Core2Duo which does the job pretty well (that's what I have on my t400).
