Recommend Laptop for general use?

I have a friend who wants a Laptop for general stuff, poker etc, no intensive PC gaming. He doesn't want to go higher than £500. Would anyone be able to recommend one?

The asus X751LA looks like a decent all-round laptop that comes in various different configurations and falls within your budget. In fact, if you google for the Asus X555LD right now there are some good deals, and that comes armed with an i7 and a Geforce 820m for around £500, meaning that it's got semi-decent graphics capabilities and should be able to play most new games at medium-to-low settings

I just got this for £499 - http://www.toshiba.co.uk/laptops/satellite/s50-b/satellite-s50-b-14p/

Screen is 1080p IPS, 128GB SSD and just upgraded to W10 with no issues. Its stunning.
