Can you try a shop like PC World? They normally have good bargains this time of the year.

Lenovo €440
Asus €463
Toshiba €463 (After Cashback)
Lenovo €488
Lenovo €488
Asus €488
MSI €495 (Has a dedicated GPU)
Asus €500
Lenovo €518
Lenovo €550
Lenovo €564
Lenovo €570 (Dedicated GPU)
Lenovo €570
Asus €607

Hi there. I am looking for a new laptop aswell. Max I would spend is 500 but preferably something between 300-400. I heard the acer is very good. A friend of mine got one this time last year. Said he got it down from about 500 to 370 or something like that. Is that possible?
