im looking for a fairly cheap laptop around 400GBP. It will be used for gaming, movies ect. I know im not going to get anything special with the budget but im not really bothered about playing games on full graphics, also I would rather have a better 2nd hand laptop than a maybe worse new one.

any suggestions on where to get a laptop or a specific type of laptop to get would be great.

EDIT: what do you guys think of this? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

and if anyone could tell me the best one on here for my budget I would really appreciate it [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

sorry if I seem lazy, it's just im a novice and don't want to buy a laptop that is terrible.

One of my friends has a variation of this model, he seems to like it, and it seems to play the CoD series pretty well.

Gets 30 FPS in BF3 on low, but that's playable for BF.

Be safe and go with a 500$ laptop. Just because theres a big difference in the 400-500$ range of specs. A Dell inspiron is a great laptop. Jusst get a up-to-date model. I have a Dell desktop and it never fails me. Gaming, Editing, There very nice and very fast.

If you want to just use the Internet I would suggest a netbook, if you want gaming as well I would suggest a 400GBP desktop as laptops overheat very easily and don't give the best performance. This there a specific reason why it has to be a laptop?

I don't have enough room for a desktop and I want portability so a laptop is the best way to go, im playing wow on a 2gb ram laptop atm and overheating isn't really a problem because I play on min

But CoD is much different to WoW, it takes a lot more power!

I didn't say I'd be playing CoD, I will be playing WoW mainly.
