  daily office stuff, surfing internet, dowmloading, watching movies and very light games

  It's probably overkill for your needs. FHD display is always nice though.

  If you don't need a heap of storage and are only planning on playing very light games, such as web games, id recommend this.(it also has the 20% off ebay deal)

  It's a bit more expensive, but you will get an SSD, which is essentially 6x faster than a conventional hard drive(makes boot and loading times significantly faster), also this one is an all aluminium body, which i would prefer personally over a plastic laptop, as well as only weighing 1.2 kgs (1kg less) and having a completely fan-less design, meaning no noise and no moving parts. Bear in mind it has a smaller screen at 13.3 inches and also has no disk drive, but personally these are worth it for having such a thin and light design with a 10 hour battery life!

  Here is a good comparison to the new apple macbook, which is double the price for almost the same specs, with less ports.

  I think that the 2nd dell scrimshaw pointed out would be good value if you need more storage and want to play a wider variety of games though.
