I am looking to get a laptop for various reasons, and have found this laptop:

http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/59406066-Lenovo-G505s_1641303.html
**Updated Link**

It's not exactly the best looking laptop, but it appears to have pretty good specs for the price, and in comparison has better specs than my current PC.

Can you find a better laptop for an equal/cheaper price [Or slightly more if it's that good]? I know building a PC is an option, but I'd rather go for a laptop because I need it for studies. I'll only have MC and a few other easy to run games, so I don't need a super powerful PC.

A few things to note BEFORE you post:
My budget is £410, you can go slightly over if you find a bargain. An extra £200 is NOT considered slightly over.
Do not suggest alienware, or try to convince me to increase my budget to £1000.
I really don't have much more than my budget!
I cannot build a custom laptop! :/
I am looking for a laptop - not a desktop.

I would be really grateful if you guys can help me out

Bump, updated the link to another laptop I found... What do you guys think or my decision? Could I get a better deal for this price?

I would suggest an A10 over an A8 any day especially if you are gaming with it. The integrated gfx are much more powerful.

Personally I am an Intel fan, but I can understand the needs of the budget.

Do you have to take your laptop to school, if you dont, I recommend a desktop, cheaper, and you get more for you buck, but, if you have to take the PC to use in school, then that would be the only reason to get a laptop.

Op said laptop, he probably has his reasons, no need to keep bugging him to get a desktop.

I am just asking him, is it really necessary to get a laptop. If he can get a desktop, I can bet you he will get a better system, that can do more, but, I also asked him if we would be taking it to school, if he does, then we would help with a laptop.

Save up a bit more and purchase this, it will be much better in the long run, basically anything with an AMD A10 APU and 8Gb or RAM will suit your needs.

Read reviews on the laptop on various websites, just to get a feel of pros and cons.

I'm actually doing that at the moment, most seem pretty good. Obviously I'm going to look around a bit more but if this is the best there is for this budget I'll probably get it.
