Best for the money?

[higgies]

Hi everyone I am thinking of purchasing a new laptop my budget is £400 and was wondering if you have any suggestions on what the best laptop for that price would be.

Any Advice would be greatly appreciated

Well, not that great of a laptop can be had for that amount. What is it going to be used for?

About the two best I can find for 400. These would be good for general use and some light gaming. No triple A titles or recent games without serious sacrifices in performance.

It would be for general office use mainly but it would also be used for programs like after effects, Photoshop and 3ds max.

Maybe even some gaming like runescape or wow.

Intel HD 5500 is around the performance of a GT740. Which is enough for WoW at moderate/high settings at 1366x768.

The i5 dual cores are going to be merely okay at your rendering tasks. Not sure about 3DS Max, generally want a discrete GPU for that, and that is going to increase the needed budget significantly.

I would just be using the laptop for the modelling when i would be on the go then i would render it on my desktop
