Laptop Deals ??

Hello,
Need to get a new laptop for someone (UK). At the moment it's between the following 2 which I think are both great prices:
http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-3481.aspx
and:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164845
I think I would probably go for the HP from ebuyer cuz the build quality is better than the acers and it's got that 1GB extra ram (even though I don't think the 32bit version of W7 I'll be installing will see all that).
My question is, aside from these 2 good deals, is there anything else that I can consider. Specifically the person has asked if there is something with roughly the same spec but good dedicated graphics (that will play GTA 4), could add around £100 to the price of that HP if such a thing was available.
Does anyone know of anything? Or other good laptop deals in general?
Thanks!

Both those laptops obviously have integrated graphics, so forget about playing GTA IV on them.
Maybe a Dell Inspiron 15 at £449 could just about handle it.
A low-end laptop is never going to be much good at gaming though.
Buy a cheap laptop and an XBox 360 if playing games is important.0 -
The system requirements for GTA IV can be found here. Something like this might be able to cope, but you can expect to pay a hefty premium for something that can run the game even reasonably well.
You don't happen to have £2250 lying around, do you?0
