need help choosing a laptop

    Hi
    its time to buy a new laptop. I have a 15" one already so i'd like to get one thats more portable for browsing.

    Requirements
    Screen : 11"-13"
    Weight: <2kg
    Price: <€500
    Battery : >4hrs
    HD: >200gb

    ideally i'd like a 13" screen, and lighter the better with a decent processor.

    mostly going to be used for Browsing internet and possibly photoshop although i could use the other laptop for that if it means getting a better deal on lower spec. i want be gaming on it.

    I was looking at the following machines

    HP €417 komplette and €449 in PC world
    ASUS €335
    Acer Very sparse on specs but said I'd throw it in see if anyone has any info, 14" is a nice size but weight goes up too which could be off putting, unless it was a bargain
    Samsung Unfortunately out of stock in argos but looks like a good deal (just for ref)

    I havent looked at any 15" because i couldnt find any that are light enough without being "ultra" expensive, but you guys know more than me ;)

    I dont have any interest in a tablet. So far I've been checking Saveonlaptops, Amazon uk, and laptops direct dont know any other good sites

    I would consider second hand if it was local in Waterford but the ones linked above are cheap enough by the time i get a new Battery i'd prob have a new machine with warranty

    any input much appreciated

    Sorry for the long post

    TL,Dr ? whats the best cheap (under €500),light, reliable 11-13" laptop you can find
