Is there any better for £400ish? Not much over please, I will be using this for internet surfing, playing wow min graphics to mainly talk to people, maybe a little league for fun since it's not demanding, light gaming, maybe some indies.

Sorry if posted in wrong place!
 
Id keep an eye on the dell outlet for something with an i3 or i5 and dedicated graphics.

For example you can get:

Inspiron 17R - 5721
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-3317U (1.70 GHz, 3MB cache) + 2 GB AMD HD 8730M
Windows® 8
4 GB DDR3 Dual Channel 1600MHz SDRAM Memory (1 DIMM)
500 GB SATA Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
8X DVD+/- RW Drive
17.3 inch High Definition+ (1600 x 900) LED Display with TrueLife
Back Up Media Not Included
Windows® 8 64bit (Englilsh)
Wireless : Intel 2230 Wireless Card + BT
Battery : Primary 6-cell 65W/HR
Internal Qwerty Keyboard

For £380

If you dont want a 17, they do a 15 with similar specs.
 
lol beat me to it.

As stated by Axeboy Dell Outlet is ideal for your needs.

I can only find that spec for £729 with the dedicated graphics card, have I missed anything?
 
I can see it, just filter to the 17R - 5721 and I get 7 of them. Most have the HD4000 but one has the spec I posted for £315.08 ex vat
