Well, yes, I can do price ranges on dell.co.uk or hp.co.uk. I was wondering if people had specific laptops in mind, I don't expect people to actually research for me.

While that laptop with the GT630M is OK, it seems mismatched with the 8GB RAM, BD drive and i5.

I wish we had Walmarts here.

£700 is nominally $1100, but the cheapest Mac with discrete graphics is £1250 = $1900. If it wasn't that I'd do it as well since I've had a great experience with paying more for an iPhone and having it Just Work (tm).

Starcraft II isn't a very graphics heavy game as far as I know. I run Diablo III on max settings on my Mac with a core i3, 8GB RAM, and an ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB, and it's very smooth. You guys don't have any BestBuys, Staples, or Walmarts in the UK? I would check around ebay or Amazon, you might be able to find a nice refurbished Macbook or Dell with decent specs for cheap.
