Best entry level laptop I can get for around 350 euro?

So my old laptop just died, I have decided to get a new one. Anyone know what the best laptop I could get for about 350 euro at the moment?

I mostly use internet, Office, music, movies/tv, no gaming or anything. Just need something sturdy and reliable.

This looks fairly good for €379

That Celeron processor would not run very well, especially with the standard HDD. A lot of smaller machines have this processor but have an SSD so it generally runs well on those. Wouldn't recommend it. Get a Pentium or an i3. Argos have lots of cheap laptops on their UK eBay outlet.

Thinking of pulling the trigger on this gonna be used for basic use and VERY limited gaming on low res.

Any decent one in an actual shop for approx 400

Something like this, works out around €315 del.

Bugger. Missed it.

Lenovo 305-15iby Ideapad 15.6 Inch 8GB 1TB Laptop - this is in Argos for 389 euro, is this any good? OP - Sorry to hijack the thread, hope you don't mind.

Nothing special. Should be fine for internet / office applications.

I went ahead with this, I should have to the other I mentioned above at £269 but missed the boat on that offer.
Works out at €350 inc parcel motel and 1.5% fee for paypal. I would prefer very limited graphics card to going for more RAM and HDD space. I wont expect too much from the graphics but some limited gaming would be a plus.
