Recommended Laptops *UK Only*

[sparda990]

Not sure if this is the right section for this but here goes:

I am looking to buy a laptop however since i only really bother with my homebuilt desktops i am not familiar with the Laptop side like what to look out for or what to avoid.
So i ask you the community can you recommend any good laptops for a £400 limit. The laptop will be for general use and some light gaming although nothing intense. Hope to hear some replies soon. Thanks in advance.
