My laptop has broken just last week and I am now in the market for a new one. All I need it for is iTunes and downloading movies, max budget is €400. HDMI connectivity would be great. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Up your budget abit, it's decent spec. I wouldn't go less, you'd be just wasting money.

Is this one no use? Anyone?

Defo I would go for that Samsung based on specs.

It has near the worst CPU on the Market today. It'll do what you want (it's even able to play blu ray 3D--UVD3 on it's integrated graphics) but as 3 or the 4 reviews say on the Argos page, it'll be slooow.

The Intel N570 is a better chip in around that price range (still shit though) it's a little bit pricier and as it is, the Samsung is only €90 in the dif for much better CPU, GPU, more USBs, HDMI.

Fair enough, thanks for your replies. I'll have to put the Samsung at the top of my list then! I guess that portability is not that big a deal for me to be honest. Any other recommendations are welcome.
