Help with a new laptop.

Have seen a new laptop for £400 which has 6GB RAM and 750GB HDD. It has intel i3-2330M which I think is sandybridge architecture 3MB. It has DVD/CD writer, Bluetooth, 10/100 Mbps Fast ethernet, webcam/mic. I am not very technical and wonder if this sounds a good deal. Anyone who can advise please.

    Anyway, with £400, you would probably can get other i5 3210m
    Packard Bell TE11 (saveonlaptops), Fujitsu AH532 (staples)

    Or the Lenovo G570 with i3, hd 6370m & Blu-ray (saveonlaptops) seems to be good buy
