Uni Laptop/Laptop for Games for £500?

Is it possible to get a reasonably decent laptop at this price that can play most games on mediumish settings?

Considering this, anyone got any idea how decent the intel graphics are?

its a GMA 3150 gfx chip IIRC. Pretty lame if you want gaming to be fair. Not much better than the old 950 chip and defo won't play later games on anything other than low detail. If gaming is a must, you want something with dedicated gfx.

Any idea what the cheapest option would be on that?

You'll probably be looking at £500+ Something like the Dell Inspiron 15r or similar

Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit
Inspiron N5110 (FCG38) - i3-2310 (2.10GHz, 3MB cache, Dual Core)
4096MB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [1x4096]
2nd generation Intel® Core™ i3-2310M processor 2.10 GHz
500GB Serial ATA (7200RPM)
1 GB nVidia GeForce GT 525M
15.6" (40 cm) High Definition (1366X768) WLED with True-Life
1 year Collect & Return

Which is £499
