Requirements are.

Cool, looks like what I'm after :)

I can only find the 3GB version with integrated graphics for £330. The 4GB one with dedicated graphics seems to be around £380+. Does that sound right or should I keep looking?
 
Sounds about right. The price fluctuates with the demand and stocks on a weekly basis. Some got the HD 4330 version for £350, but I think £380 is still a fair price for the unit. £380 would be the higher tier, you may find it for cheaper once they get back in stock (or not, Christmas coming and all).
