HP Pavilion g6-2212sa for 499euro. Good Value?

    Im looking in to buying a laptop at the moment. I see the HP Pavilion g6-2212sa going for 499euro in Currys and PC World. Specs are Intel® Core™ i5-3210M processor, RAM 6 GB, Hard drive: 1 TB. This seems reasonable spec for that money, and it should do all of the tasks I need apart from maybe running SolidWorks CAD package on the rare occasion I need it. Are there any other laptops with similar price and spec? Any good reasons to steer clear of the HP laptops? I saw some mention of wireless problems, and possibly the mouse buttons being a little flimsy, but that might just be an unlucky few? Any feedback much appreciated.

    Thanks

    If it is this model then €499 is great value.

    I have yet to hear of a HP Pavillion "melting" integrated Intel HD4000 graphics. :D
