The HP Envy 17 is expandable to 16GB and the Lenovo T430S is as well. I know this ecause I use both of them.
The HP Envy is a beautiful machine, but it lacks the drivers for Linux. I am currently using Linux in VMWare because of the lack of drivers. Especially the Graphics Card Switching driver. That is the one I miss the most, because it makes my battery last for 5-6 hours.
