    Hi guys, I need a new laptop as my own is a little old. I primarily need Large storage for downloading Music etc a little gaming but not much,watching a few films and Microsoft Excel if possible. Also a big screen would be a must.

    Cheers:)

    This is a little over budget (about 525 inc delivery) but has a second generation i3 and a 640GB HDD. The integrated graphics wouldn't be all that great for gaming especially at the higher resolutions of a 17" laptop (1600X900) but it should alright for older/less demanding games and maybe more demanding games at very low settings (Expecially if you lower the ingame resolution to 1376X768). For all your other mentioned needs it is perfect IMO.

    You are probably not going to be able to do much better than integrated graphics for 500.
