Ok i have a great pc that i use for gaming in my study, but some nights i would love to be able to just go into living room read a pdf and chill out. Maybe log into wow or watch a movie. Ofc that cannot be done with my pc so decided to get a laptop. The laptop needs HDMI socket so i can connect it to tv and watch films it also needs to be able to play wow on lowest settings.
I have a very max of £400 and want to be able to get the best laptop for that amount, i am not interested in saving money just dont want to go over my budget.

Thanks for yer time guys.

ps I dont know first thing about laptops so go easy on me

I would recommend to get this A-1 grade recertified laptop http/www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/GRADE_A1_-_Acer_Timeline_X_4820T_Core_i3_Laptop__A1-LX.PSN02.007/version.asp
however if you need sealed item then go with http/www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro_C660-16W_-C2_T6670_2.2_3GB_320GB__15.6_W_XGA_CSV_DVD-_PSC0ME-00N00SEN/version.asp

I do want to get new one so A-1 grade recertified one not going to happen.
Also the second one you linked i dont think has HDMI port

I ment to say I don't want to get a A-1 grade recertified one. I just dont trust opened boxes.

brother at that budget you can get hdmi port only with athlon cpu which is much slower than even 2 years old core 2 duos of INTEL, but if hdmi is your main priority then go with some AMD athlon laptop, processor will be slower but you will get hdmi output.

The computer that you linked isn't going to perform very well with WoW. In my opinion WoW wouldn't be playable on even low settings. Here is a review with benchmarks for those integrated graphics:
