Starting shortlist
Final price and stock should be rechecked before buying.
John Lewis & Partners
£431.99 if 10% My John Lewis code works
A compact 14-inch Copilot+ class Windows laptop with a modern Ryzen AI chip, 16GB RAM and a generous 1TB SSD. Potentially one of the best balanced early launch deals if the John Lewis code still applies.
John Lewis & Partners
£339.99 if 15% My John Lewis code works
A large-screen everyday laptop with the right mainstream basics: 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 16:10 display and a two-year John Lewis guarantee.
Currys
£499 was reported via HS/BLC/student portals
A productivity-focused 16-inch OLED laptop with a capable Intel H-series processor, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. The deal is attractive mainly for eligible portal users.
More checked notes
KRCS
£599
A strong-value MacBook option because it has 16GB unified memory at a much lower price than many new MacBook Air configurations, but it is ex-demo rather than sealed new stock.
Currys
£799; extra trade-in value may apply separately
A current-generation MacBook Air at a sensible baseline price. Useful as a safe Apple pick, but trade-in examples should not be treated as guaranteed prices.
Costco UK
£449.99 if £200 checkout reduction applies
A spec-per-pound option with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD, but the screen is basic and the final price depends on Costco checkout/membership details.
Very
Only compelling if the code price is live
A cheap 14-inch Windows laptop for light use only. It should be presented as an entry-level option, not a bargain for everyone.
