the 20mm lens is longer than your current zoom (18-55). I wouldn't bother with the 20mm lens unless you have a full frame camera.

This is a pretty decent setup, though I would opt for a 28mm-35mm prime over a 50mm prime. The 50mm prime is a bit too long for much, beyond portraits, on a crop camera.

A) Canon EF 28-135 is not an L lens. Don't bother with it.
B) You'll find that on your crop camera, the 17-40 will be similar in quality to your 18-55, but larger and heavier. Really not worth...

Any laptop >=14" calling itself an "ultrabook" is just perverting the term for profit. Ultrabook used to mean "small and fast", not "thin with no user-replaceable components".
