School/ basic gaming Laptop under £450 (URGENT)

Hey folks,

My uncle wants to buy my 15 year old brother a laptop. The kid is interested in being able to play games and do school work on it as well as watch movies. The trick is that I have to decide the model tonight. The laptop has to have a dedicated gaming card or should run on AMD fusion (A6 + prefferibly g2 gpu).

Hello Kukushka;

ThinkPad E525 with optional A8-3520M APU & Radeon HD 6620G graphics is a good choice in that budget range. 4GB of RAM is another good option.
It will do all the usual home office/home entertainment/educational work very well for years to come and it's good for some light gaming as well.
I don't believe it's going to be quite good enough for Skyrim, even on low graphics though.

Thanks for the help. I like both of the laptops you recommended. In the end we went with an HP, however we opted for the Pavilion with A6 processor and dual graphics set up.

Sure Shall give a full report
