hi guys im trading in my pc for a laptop as weve got a little one on the way and now need the spare as a nursury anyway im after a decent i5 laptop that can cope with decent enough gaming

i would play fifa 11 and soon fifa 12 on it which i believe requires atleast 512MB Graphics card

my only other requirements are it must have a decent DVD +-r/rw and decent ram 4gb+

windows 7

ive seen this one but its a bit more than i was hoping to spend
but it does seem to match up well with my requirments

has anyone got any other suggestions?
 
Budget?
Screen size?
Preferred brand?

my girlfriend is going to buy a dell inspiron n5040 from john lewis for £399 with 2 year warranty.

will this be ok to run microsoft office which she has just recieved for doing open university studies?

she just wants something that won't stuuter and struggle with office, internet etc. it has an i3 processor.. is that good?
