Hello I am looking to buy a new laptop. It doesn't matter if its a pre-build or I have to custom build it. I know a little about desktops but not so much laptops.

Basically I have a budget of £200-350. I am not expecting anything amazing for this price. But as long as I can play my Sims 3 and World Of Warcraft on low/fair settings without lagging I be happy.

I would prefer a laptop that doesn't have the intel intergrated graphics as these arent supported by world of warcraft a admin said. I don't really know anything about laptop graphic cards very different to a desktops I think.

I am from the UK so all parts of laptops have to bought from uk company.

PCWorld offer some good refurbished laptops but you have to keep checking each day for new ones as there is only one of them in stock and usually bought straight away.
 
Here is some I like:

Don't get any laptop with intel TXXXX. They are last gen. I won't recommend refurb laptop unless you can get a decent spec under £250. None of the refurb laptop you linked worth the money. They are all outdated. T4500/ P360 are slower that P6200/ B940/ i3

ACER, Dual-core Intel® Pentium® P6200 processor 2.13gz, 4GB, Graphics intel HD, 320GB is fastest under £300

But I don't recommend acer

If you could spend £350.
Go for Asus A52F with i3-380m. They are one of the most reliable brand.

If you want to stay under £300. Go for ASUS X53E with B940 at comet. This is better than that acer at pcworld

However, if you want better gaming ability at low price, I would suggest you to look for AMD APU. It starting at £400. Please bear in mind that you can't upgrade video card at laptop.
