Cheap Ivy Bridge Laptop (£400 budget) recommendations

Hey,

As suggested i'm after a cheap Ivy Bridge laptop, so far the best I have found is:

Lenovo G580 i5-3210M 4GB 500GB DVDRW 15.6" for £450 with £50 cashback.

Anyone know of anything better at this price point?

Thanks

Gormond

Sandy Bridge on budget but has double the RAM and an extra 50% HDD space

or save a £1 for a lottery ticket / scratchcard

Thanks, the reason I want Ivy Bridge is due to USB3 and better integrated graphics. I also like the Lenovo as its easy to upgrade the memory, HDD and DVD drive.

.... not to mention the probability of a properly implemented SATA 6Gbps connection to work in with that nice SSD upgrade.

Indeed! Looks like I will be going for this as I can't find anything better at this price point.
