As the title states, I'm looking for a Laptop between £400-£500, but being a student, I want to find the best deal for my money. I have been looking around, but was wondering if any of you "tech heads" have seen a steal of a Laptop around.
I'm not really a PC gamer, so it would be more for entertainment and going coursework, ect.

The best deal would be to buy a £300 laptop, any of which will be more than adequate for your needs.0

Agree you don't need to go to more than £300 - 350 IMO.
Son went for an i3 2310 toshiba 660 4Gb/500GB and it is pretty slick. It is only matt black so not as pretty as some.
We got it from John Lewis (best price and extra years warranty) for £349, plus a cashback based on Rugby World Cup:( of £49.
Toshibas have a pretty good reputation IMO but their were various ones in that price range/specification depending on which brand you want."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Best budget laptop at the moment is this £330 Fujitsu. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fujitsu-AH531-15-6-Intel-Sandybridge-Core-i3-Win7-Laptop-/220900939949?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BUA%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D220895712020%252B220895712020%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4426246303997722215
Add a 3 year warranty for about £50.
Or find an Acer and get a 3 year Acer warranty (inc accidental damage) for £31 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acer-Advantage-Notebook-Extended-Warranty-/130594757140?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopAccess_RL&hash=item1e680dda140
