Which one would people recommend? Or does anyone have a different suggestion for this budget?
Apologies about the (REMOVE THIS) in the links. I am a new user and the forum wouldn't let me post url's

I would keep a keen eye on http://www.hotukdeals.com
Don't discount refurbished ones, like dells, and end of line offers in PC world etc.
Christmas is nigh, keep the other eye open for sales, but for £400 I would want an i5
Argos site is currently down, the Very hp lacks cpu info, lenovo g500 think is slightly higher spec, but on amazon people generally do not give it 4 or 5 stars, just disappointing well distributed average rating - would expect a few failures and the majority to be happy
