People have told me to go onto the Dell Outlet but when i went onto it i couldn't a single laptop with dedicated graphics under £500. 

If you find a good deal on the Outlet store please tell me. 

 

Also i am buying this headset for him. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/pc-accessories/pc-gaming-accessories/headsets/tritton-pc-kunai-stereo-gaming-headset-white-21653450-pdt.html

 

Thank you and please reply so i can buy him it in time for Christmas.

Are there any other options you can find?

 

I have heard people get i7's, 8gb RAM, 1TB HDD and HD 7730M for £450 on the Dell Outlet store but i cant find that kind of deal.

I doubt that maybe on an extreme sale I would personally say the Lenovo Z500 but the HP does have a better gpu

I use a Dell Inspiron 15r that has 6gb RAM, an ivybridge i5 750 gb HDD and 7730M, I got it for £500, except for the fact that 7730M, does not work no matter what I try and I do use the catalyst control centre but makes no difference

Intel Core i5 4690K @ 4.2Ghz | Evga GTX 780 Ti SC ACX with backplate | MSI Gaming 9 AC | 8GB (2x4) Corsair Vengeance Pro Silver 2400 MHz | Corsair H105 | 128GB Crucial MX100 | Toshiba 2TB | Evga 750G2 | Corsair Obsidian 750d | Be Quiet Silent Wings 2 PWM (3x140mm & 3x120mm)

Is the medion a bad brand or something?

It has the best GPU and no one is recommending that one.

What does your local Craigslist look like? Personally, I would try for a used ASUS or MSI under warranty. ASUS' global warranty is pretty impressive. 

Oneplus 6 | Sony 55" X900F . Lenovo Y540 17" 144Hz RTX 2060 . i7 9750h. 

Audio-GD DAC-19MK3 > Schiit Lyr 2 + > FOSTEX TH900 . Sony XBA-Z5

As it is going to be a Christmas present i would rather have it to be new.

It is between this http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/MSI-CX61-CX61_2OD-225UK_1475353.html

 

and this http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/refurbished-laptops/hp-envy-touchsmart-15-j051sa-refurbished-15-6-touchscreen-laptop-silver-21750336-pdt.html

 

I think the HP is a little better and it is £575 with the 10% off.

 

This as well. http://www.very.co.uk/lenovo-z510-intelreg-coretrade-i7-processor-6gb-ram-1tb-hard-drive-with-8gb-ssd-156-inch-laptop-with-1gb-dedicated-graphics-white/1314723677.prd?aff=google&gclid=CP7Fhrj7qLsCFUmWtAod7i8Aqw&affsrc=acquisition&cm_mmc=google-_-PLA_Electricals-_-computers+laptops-_-atdvpZo2_29821782914

the medion is pretty good, but the build quality is not the best (not really bad but not good either)

 

EDIT: from the last laptops go with the msi one
