Hey guys.
My work is buying me a laptop and I have been given a budget of 500 pounds.
Can anyone suggest any laptops that would be any good. I would like to do a bit of light gaming on it as well so dedicated graphics is a must really.
I have a few in mind already but a few other opinions couldn't hurt.

You can get some good deals on custom built laptops at the moment, however they'll be just out of your budget, and without a software license.
I would see if you can put some of your own money towards it, as it actually gives you quite a bit of value for money:
