Hi Just need a bit of advice am on a very low budget 350 - 400 and am buying a laptop for my 12 year old who mainly wants to play online games such as World of Warcraft and Star Wars the Old Republic and of course when it is relased Elder Scrolls online, I know it will probably be impossible to get one within budget.
I have linked a few I have seen in Argos
Any advice would be helpful

Even Warcraft will be disappointing on those machines I'm afraid. I'd reccomend trying online and getting an Core i3 (something like this maybe ?, online games are actually quite CPU intensive, and they will be unplayable on the bottom rung CPU's that high street shops sell around that bracket.

As already stated above none of those laptops could run WOW pretty easily.
You should get an i3

I would go with the following for your price:
Click me

My sister bought that laptop 2 months ago and its a great wee laptop for its price,
It was easily able to play NFS WORLD
Requirements for those two games are pretty simular:
NFS WORLD: Click Me
And WOW: Click Me

The one above already mentioned isnt bad either. It depends if you want it for christmas (most likely) Ordering online might not get it by christmas.
The one mentioned above also has HD 3000 while that one i have linked has HD 4000
