Some help would really be greatly appreciated as I've spent ages looking but i'm not entirely sure what i'm looking for.
Here is some information about what I've identified as the things I need/want.
Budget: Around £350 or $570. May go slightly higher if it would be worth it, but no higher than £400 or $650 dollars, and i'd rather stay closer to the £350 mark.
Usage: Light gaming, not too fussed about playing on high settings but i'd like to be able to play games such as minecraft and football manager, maybe sims 3 to a decent standard. I won't play them often, but i'll play them occasionally and it's important to me that i'd be able to play them to a decent standard. Mostly i'll be using it for browsing and listening to music.
Screen size: 15inch, 17 inch seems to big for how I use it.
Specs: I don't really understand the cores and graphics card. I thing 4gb RAM is enough for what I want, and it's only for me to use so a hard drive of 500gb is probably enough.
Design: Weight is not too much of an issue as I won't be carrying it around. That said I still need it to be a laptop rather than a PC as I lack the room for a PC and I like the freedom a laptop gives you.
Anything I missed out? Please ask if you want any more info!
All help will be vastly appreciated, so thanks in advance!
