Laptop Home insurance offer

Hi there,
I have recently been offered a laptop replacement by my home insurer. (Tesco Insurance). The laptop was deemed uneconomical to repair.
Now the orginal laptop cost £400ish and I bought it from ebuyer 18 months ago.
Please see link for specs: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149335
Now Tesco have offered my an £499 Argos voucher to buy a new laptop, however after browsing their website, they don't seem to have any laptops similar spec for £499. They did suggest the Samsung R620 Blu-Ray:
http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500002451&langId=-1&searchTerms=SAMSUNG+R620
However, the reviews don't appear great, and it only appears to have 3GB RAM (old one had 4GB) and no webcam.
Do you think I should push for more from the insurance?
Kind Regards,
JB

only the 64 bit version of vista or windows 7 correctly recognise anything over 3gb, so really not much point. The samsung would be much better than hp as they are also much better quality.0
