Gotta love how the 4300 works better at high settings than at medium settings on WoW by interpolation, lol.
Seriously though, £400 is about $650. There is no such thing as a $650 gaming laptop, you will need to shell out at least $1000 (~ £650) for something that decently plays games (it won't be a beast - but it will get the job done on medium settings). I suggested a $1000 model for you, I'm pretty sure you could find a decent laptop for you at $900. Maybe $850. But certainly not $650 (unless it's second-hand in which case it's probably broken anyway).
That of course is unless you enjoy playing in a tiny 640x480 window on lowest settings and still having low frames per second ... your call.
And FYI I'm exaggerating a bit on the last statement, I do own an Intel GMA4500MHD on one of my lappies, and I can assure you it will *not* run GTA IV at all, and will struggle quite a bit with san andreas even on lowest settings. It will be able to max out half-life 2 (albeit with no anti-aliasing since the chipset doesn't support it), and will have decent performance on battlefield 2. Any other more recent game ... no way. It just won't cut it.

But 320 GB ram and i3. Do you think it is ok? or should I get one with 500 GB
