Best laptop for £400

[jackjack701]

I am looking for a pre-build laptop for around £400 (can go over a little)
I will use it for school work, so using the internet a lot and creating documents.
I will also use it for some mild gaming. (Mainly sims and minecraft)
I would like a windows operating system, windows 7 or 8
Doesn't need to come pre installed with word, excel etc.
Need a 15 - 16 inch screen
Prefer intel processor
Don't want touchscreen

Thanks in advance

My first find, an Acer v5. It has a quad core amd, 8 gigs of ram, a 1 TB hard driver, and a built in gpu (only 512 megs, but should be sufficient)

Next, we have this Toshiba. It has a 4th gen (newest) Haswell i5, 8 gigs of ram, and a 500 gig hard drive, and I'm not for sure on gpu. Although it has no optical drive.

Up next, we have a Lenovo G510. Although it says gaming it only has intel 4600 (which should play your games). It has an i7, 8 gigs of ram, and a 1 TB hard drive. This is a refurbished unit.

Finally, we have this. It's a dual core i5, with 8 gigs of ram, and a 1 TB hard drive. It has the more lower end intel 4000 graphics.

Personally, I'd go for the Lenovo. They are known for making some good laptops, and while the 4600 is not the best for gaming, it'll handle your needs.
