Spec me a £400 laptop

I've had a really good offer of a HP 6820S Intel Celeron 530 1.73 GHz 17" WXGA 1x1GB 120GB DVD+/-RW, Wifi, BT, ATI Mobility Radeon X1350 384MB, and Vista HP.

The winner for me here is its £50 cashback so makes it around £350 with delivery and the fact it has seperate GFX.

I'm not a hard core gamer but I do like MOHAA and want to be able to relieve the processor and memory of any uneccessary strain. I'm also not too fussed about having such a large screen.

What say ye?

Any other options available in this price range?

I found a great Dell deal. C2D 1.86Ghz, 2Gb DDR2, 160Gb HDD, Truelife display with 2m webcam built in, alpine white case and cover all for £399.

Thanks

Ok, heres the thing.

I went to the dell site and looked at the Inspirons. The first one was £399 and was Pentium dual core, 120Gb, 2Gb mem and X3100 gfx. No built in webcam, no truelife display.

So I clicked on the next model up, £449, 1.66ghz (correction to the above), 160Gb 5400 drive, 2Gb, X3100, built in 2mp webcam, truelife display.

Then I went back to the first one and customised it to be exactly the same spec as the £449 one. The first one came out at £523. :confused:

Then at checkout I got £50 off! w00t!

Oh, just saw above, these are both Vista HP btw.
