Asus Zenbook 14 OLED: £1,099 £699 @ Amazon
Yep you read that right — a massive £400 discount on the incredible Zenbook 14 OLED. The display, as you can probably guess by the “OLED” part, is jaw dropping (alongside that 90Hz refresh rate and capacitive touch). And everything moves swiftly along with an Intel Core i5-1240P processor, 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD.

Acer Aspire 5: £799

Another hit of a deal that chances are a lot of people are sleeping on. The Acer Aspire 5 may look like a relatively unassuming 15.6-inch laptop on first impressions. But look closer at those specs — QHD display, 12th Gen Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. For £699, that kind of list is a steal.

The ultraportable gaming powerhouse that is the Zephyrus G14 is a fantastic option for those who wish to easily play on-the-go, and this deep price cut just eliminated what my main gripe was with it when I reviewed it last year. That 16:10 QHD display is gorgeously smooth — kept so silky by an AMD Ryzen 9-6900HS CPU, Radeon RX 6800S GPU, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. Plus you can stuff it full of games on that 1TB SSD.

Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro: £999

This configuration makes the ultraportable 2-in-1 absolutely fly, and capable of handling some demanding tasks too, for those who’d want to quickly touch up an image in Photoshop (especially on that gorgeous 2880x1920-pixel touchscreen display).

Dell XPS 13: £949

Dell XPS 13: £949 £933 @ Amazon
