Can anyone help spec me a laptop for around £350, mostly going to be used for internet / movies and the usual stuff but also looking for something that would do a bit of "light" gaming. Likely older games, but also possibly new-ish games at lower settings.

I've seen that the AMD A4-5000 can be had cheaply and will run stuff like Bioshock infinite on low and dirt 3 on low.

Basically are there any APU/CPU-GPU combos about at the moment that should provide decent bang for buck that I should be looking out for.

Thanks all!
 
That seems like a pretty good suggestion, found some reviews of it as well. Seems to be the sort of thing I'm looking for and near the budget too which is great.

Anyone got anything else I should be looking at?

Edit: Perhaps with a bigger screen, the laptop won't be carried about the place, it'll just be for in the house use.

My girlfriend wants to sell her asus n53sv with an i5 and gt 540m 2gb, 8gb ram and 500gb hdd. Very decent machine and is going to be your best bet if you don't mind buying a used machine. But then again with this sort of budget you don't have many options with new laptops.

I'm sure this isn't an attempt to sell it ;)

But just in case, for future reference, no trading is allowed outside of the members market.

On topic, I would suggest a used machine. You will be able to get a-lot for your money buying used. Something with an i5, 8GB of RAM and an HD5650 would be in budget for example.

First problem: Core 2 Duo 1.3GHz and GT335M for £400? I think not!

Second problem:
