How about: http://www.dmxdimension.com/dell-uk/inspiron-545s-deals-codes-coupons/ the £379 model, dual core 2.6Ghz.

Depends what you need, speed, screen size, features etc.

thanks for link, but it was a laptop i needed.

can you recommend a laptop for similar price? ideally 4 gb ram for some games.

You need to give some more info about what you want or what you want to do with it. A 'laptop for some games' is not really sufficient.
Fundamentally you first need to choose the screen size-though at your budget you are really looking at only the option of a 15in screen.

You can use the same site. Have a look at the Inspiron 15

Having a large amount of RAM will only contribute towards games performance to a certain point, at which the bottleneck becomes the woefully underpowered graphics processor. You're better off looking for something with a better GPU and then if the need arises, add more RAM at a future date.

The best tip for shopping at PCW is to walk past the front door not going in.

OTOH my advent re-badge of the MSI wind is very good.
