Our pick: Lenovo 13-inch IdeaPad Slim 5 (Gen 10)

To buy the version of the 13-inch IdeaPad Slim 5 that includes AMD's Ryzen AI 5 processor for £420, head to John Lewis. (Note: we haven't tested the processor in this model; the model we tested had a Ryzen 5 processor.)

• AMD Ryzen 5 processor
• 16GB Ram
• 512GB SSD

We like: It's very portable

We don't like: The speakers aren’t the best

The Lenovo 13-inch IdeaPad Slim 5 (Gen 10) is a 13.3-inch Windows 11 laptop with a sleek design. If you’re looking for a laptop you can carry around and use on the go, this model is very compact and lightweight – at just over 1.1kg. That's remarkably light, relative to other 13-inch laptops we've tested.

Back when we tested it, this laptop's engine room comprised of an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8GB Ram and 256GB solid-state drive SSD storage. However, it's now available with double the Ram (16GB Ram) and storage (512GB) as standard.

Laptop deals under £500

Asus 16-inch Vivobook 16 (X1607QA)

Average price in the past six months: £420
Cheapest price in the past six months: £360*

• Snapdragon X processor (X-X126100) 
• 16GB Ram
• 512GB SSD

We like: Onboard AI

We don't like: Touchpad isn't the best

Asus claims that this mid-range 16-inch Vivobook 16 (X1607QA) is ‘more intelligent, more productive, more secure’. And, considering the price, the laptop has an impressive array of features and specifications - including a rapid Snapdragon X-X126100 processor.

It also has a powerful dedicated neural processing unit (NPU), which qualifies it as a Copilot+ PC. This means it can perform certain types of AI-enhanced tasks without the need for an online AI service. Weighing 1.9kg, it’s designed to be used primarily on a desk – that's quite a substantial weight to carry around in a bag. 

This laptop features a Snapdragon X processor, meaning you should check that the manufacturers of any peripherals you use offer drivers that support ARM-based processors on Windows.

Read our full Asus 16-inch Vivobook 16 (X1607QA) review to see how it performed in our extensive tests.

If you like this laptop but want a lighter (just over 1.5kg) version, the 14-inch model – the Asus Vivobook 14 (X1407QA) – is also on sale now at John Lewis for £459.

Laptop deals £500-£999

Samsung Galaxy Book 4 360 15.6-inch

Average price in the past six months: £796
Cheapest price in the past six months: £608*

• Snapdragon X processor
• 16GB Ram
• 256GB SSD storage

We like: Light given its size

We don't like: Disappointing webcam, based on our tests

It’s a 2-in-1 Samsung laptop with a large 15.6-inch touchscreen display that can be flipped to function as a very large table - you could also angle it in 'tent' mode or just use it as a laptop. There’s also a stylus for writing and drawing, which is ideal for those who prefer handwriting or need to produce professional graphics.

Equipped with an Intel Core 5 processor, this laptop's internals should be able to handle multiple web browser tabs and other programs simultaneously. But note that it only has 8GB Ram memory and 256GB SSD storage (of which 163GB is usable at launch), which are a little stingy compared to what else you can buy from our pick of the best laptop deals.

Listed as a being on a 'clearance' price from Currys, this laptop weighs a little under 1.5kg. That’s pretty light compared to other 2-in-1 laptops of a similar size. You’ll notice it in your bag, but if you’re happy to compromise portability for screen size, this shouldn’t matter much.

We put this laptop through our full lab test to see how it fared. Read our expert Samsung Galaxy Book 4 360 15.6-inch review.

Asus 14-inch ZenBook UM3406 OLED

Average price in the past six months: £862
Cheapest price in the past six months: £649*

• AMD Ryzen AI 5 processor
• 16GB Ram
• 1TB SSD

We like: Fast enough for everyday tasks

We don't like: Narrow viewing angle

This discounted laptop could be just what you need if you’re after a Windows 11 PC with a 14-inch screen. It has a six-core AMD Ryzen processor, 16GB of Ram, a 1TB solid-state drive and a 2,880 x 1,800-pixel OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz (for smoother motion) and support for HDR (which enhances colours).

Its 14-inch display make it compact enough to slip into a backpack or briefcase. It’s also slim and light, weighing just over 1.2kg, so it’s very well suited to anyone who needs a portable PC.

You might notice from the laptop's image on Amazon that the touchpad looks a little different to other laptops. It doubles up as a virtual number pad, meaning you get the benefit of 'ease number-crunching' (as Asus puts it), without having the rest of the keyboard crunched together to make extra space. Handy if you work in with numbers a lot.

We’ve gone beyond the specs and given this laptop a full workout in our test lab. Find out how well it scored and whether it’s worth buying in our full Asus 14-inch ZenBook 14 OLED review.

Acer 14-inch Swift SF14-11 AI

Average price in the past six months: £1,023
Cheapest price in the past six months: £649*

• Snapdragon X Plus processor
• 16GB Ram
• 1TB SSD

We like: Solid build quality

We don't like: Poor webcam in our tests

This is a smaller Windows laptop with a 14.5-inch screen. It's a Copilot+ PC, so it has the necessary hardware to handle AI tasks directly on the computer. It's built around a Snapdragon X Plus processor with 16GB of Ram and a 1TB SSD. That means it can handle multiple apps and tasks simultaneously.

It has a generous four USB ports and a standard headphone socket. There is, however, no HDMI output.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x 14-inch (Gen 9)

Average price in the past six months: £1,099
Cheapest price in the past six months: £799*

• Snapdragon X Elite processor
• 16GB Ram
• 1TB SSD SSD

We like: Solid build quality

We don't like: Screen is a touch reflective

This is a Windows 11 laptop with a 14-inch screen. Its compact size and low weight (1.3kg) make it very suitable for anyone who needs a laptop that’s easy to carry around. 

Under the bonnet there’s a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite processor (so make sure any older peripherals you want to plug into it are compatible with an ARM-based processor), with 16GB of Ram and a huge 1TB SSD (we tested it with a 512GB SSD).

It features a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for seamless use of on-board AI tools when you need them. This model comes with plenty of ports for hooking it up to peripherals: two USB-C Thunderbolts, one full-sized USB, an HDMI, micro-SD slot and 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo.

So, should you buy it? Read our Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x 14-inch (Gen 9) review to see how well it performed against its rivals in our tough lab tests.

• Intel Core Ultra 7 processor
• 16GB Ram
• 1TBGB SSD

We like: Versatile

We don't like: Poor viewing angles

The manufacturer says this 16-inch laptop ‘combines AI-powered speed and performance for creative work and entertainment’. It has a large touchscreen that can flip on its hinge, so you can use it as either a laptop or an oversized tablet. it's heavy, though, at just over 1.8kg.

It has a specification sheet suggesting decent power, too. In fact, the model on sale is even better than the one we tested with a fancier processor (Intel Core Ultra 7 instead of 5) and more storage (1TB instead of 512GB).

Find out whether this laptop is worth buying in our full HP OmniBook X Flip 16-as0002nb review.

HP Spectre x360 16-aa0001na

Average price in the past six months: £1,856
Cheapest price in the past six months: £1,143*

Available for £1,349 from direct from HP with code BLACK10.

• Intel Core Ultra 7 processor
• 16GB Ram
• 1TB SSD

We like: Large and good quality screen

We don't like: Heavy

This HP is a large 2-in-1 laptop that weighs in at a hefty 2kg. While it has a 2-in-1 design that allows you to flip it around to use like a tablet, it’s definitely the sort of tablet you’d want to use on a desk rather than on your lap in front of the TV. One great way to use this laptop would be on a desk in ‘Tent’ mode, with the screen front-and-centre with a USB or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

It comes with 16GB of Ram and hearty 1TB of SSD storage, plus a high-spec Intel Core Ultra 7 processor. The processor has six high-performance cores and a further ten low-power ‘efficiency’ cores for background tasks. All 16 cores can work together on big tasks to speed things up, too.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2022, M2)

Average price in the past six months: £852
Cheapest price in the past six months: £699*

Available for £699 from John Lewis and Currys

• Apple M2 processor
• 8GB Ram
• 256GB SSD

We like: Quiet when working hard

We don't like: Battery not as good as predecessor

This 2022-generation MacBook has a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display and a processor with eight cores, four of which are high-speed and four of which handle lightweight tasks in the background. At 1.22kg and 1.13cm thick, it makes a great portable companion to join you on your travels.

There's the choice of four finishes: midnight, space grey, silver and starlight.

Apple 13-inch MacBook Air M4

Average price in the past six months: £936
Cheapest price in the past six months: £799*

• Apple M4 Pro processor
• 16GB Ram 
• 256GB storage

We like: Fast and responsive

We don’t like: Low on ports - two Thunderbolt USB-C and a 3.5mm jack

This 13.6-inch laptop from Apple (there’s also a 15.3-inch larger version) is its thinnest, lightest MacBook (hence the ‘Air’ in its name). 

The 256GB of storage feels stingy for the price. But it's good to see 16GB of Ram, as opposed to the 8GB we used to previously see on base models, and that powerful M4 processor.

To find out if this MacBook is the one for you, see our expert Apple 13-inch MacBook Air M4 review.

Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro M5

Average price in the past six months: £1,591
Cheapest price in the past six months: £1,449*

• Apple M5 processor
• 16GB Ram 
• 512GB storage

We like: Lightning-fast processor

We don’t like: No full-sized USB ports or face scanner

This 14-inch laptop from Apple was released in October and is getting a discount for the first time thanks to online retailer Box.

It has a powerful Apple M5 processor, 16GB of Ram and a 512GB SSD. There are three USB-C ports (super-high-speed Thunderbolt 4 data transfer format), an HDMI port, SD card reader and 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack. It also has a MagSafe 3 charging port and a fingerprint reader for swift, secure login.

It weighs 1.54kg - this is heavy for a 14-inch laptop, but is due in part to its all-metal aluminium body and glass screen.

To find out whether this laptop is worth your money, see our expert Apple MacBook Pro M5 review.

Another 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro deal to consider

• Last year's Apple MacBook Pro M4 doesn't have onboard AI capabilities, but it's practically the same as this 2025 version - and it's cheaper at £1,380 from Laptops Direct.

Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch (M4, late 2024)

Average price in the past six months: £2,358
Cheapest price in the past six months: £2,150*

• Apple M4 Pro processor
• 24GB Ram 
• 512GB storage

We like: Great webcam

We don’t like: Upgrades are expensive

This new 16-inch laptop from Apple has three USB-C ports, which work with the super-high-speed Thunderbolt 4 data transfer format. There's also an HDMI port, SD card reader and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack. It has a fingerprint reader for swift, secure login, but no face scanner. 

It's a top-of-the-range model, but very expensive. It's currently at the cheapest price we've seen in the past six months.

So is it worth shelling out for? Our Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch (M4, late 2024) review has the answer.

How to spot a good deal on a laptop

Oliver Trebilcock, Which? laptop expert, says:

• It seems like most laptops are on discount most of the time, so it can be really hard to spot a genuinely great deal. Aside from using our handpicked deals, featured above, you can do your own research to find stonking discounts. 
• I'd recommend making a shortlist of laptops based on our Which? laptop reviews, then check the prices every now and again to get a feel of how the price cycle operates over a set sales period.
• We list the best retailer deals we can find in each review. Once a laptop is advertised at a discount in a deal season, it's unlikely to get any cheaper at a given retailer, so you should feel satisfied you've got the best price you'll find for a few months.

Deals that get me excited:

• £200 or more off Microsoft Surface and Samsung
• £200 or more off Apple (rare)
• £300+ off other high-end laptops
• £50 off low-end laptops under £300.

Deals I'd skip:

• Less than £100 off HP laptops at Currys
• £50 or less off Apple laptops
• Money off laptops that cost less than £150 to begin with (which are unlikely to be great).

What you need to know about the laptop deals we choose

Lisa Barber, Which? Tech editor, says:

Every single laptop deal you see here has been checked by Oliver Trebilcock, our laptops expert, and myself. We only show deals that we would be happy to recommend to our own friends and family.

If a deal isn't good enough, it doesn't make it onto this page.

Looking to save even more money on a laptop?

If you're not looking to spend a lot on a new laptop, there are plenty of cheaper models that can handle day-to-day tasks well. See our expert pick of the best cheap laptops – we feature models for less than £200, £300 and £500.

If you want to spend even less, or if you want something high-spec that won't cost the earth, consider a second-hand or refurbished model. To find out more, go to how to buy a second-hand or refurbished laptop.

How to get deals on specific laptop brands

Laptop deals are available all year round. If you have a particular brand in mind for your next model, you need to know where to look. Read our independent laptop reviews to ensure you get the best deal.  

Acer laptop deals

You can often find deals on Acer’s UK website that aren’t available elsewhere. The site also lists a wider range of specifications on certain models than you'll find on the high street, so it’s always worth checking here as well as the usual online stores.

Check out our Acer laptop reviews.

Apple laptop deals

We’ve found that Apple laptops are very often cheaper, and available for faster delivery, when you don't buy direct from Apple. The main reason you’d buy directly is if you wanted a specification – such as a processor, Ram and storage combination – that isn’t available anywhere else. But you’re less likely to bag a bargain this way.

Read all our Apple MacBook laptop reviews.

Asus laptop deals

Asus laptops are stocked by a wide range of retailers in various configurations, so it’s always worth shopping around. The company also sells directly on its website. Its prices are usually higher than other retailers – unless you’re a student, in which case you can get 15% off if you buy direct.

Read our Asus laptop reviews.

Dell laptop deals

For the widest range of Dell laptops, look at the Dell website. If you’re thinking of buying from a retailer, check whether there’s a cheaper or higher-spec model available direct before you buy. 

Dell often has active online voucher codes and discounts, so it pays to wait for one before buying.

Read our Dell laptop reviews.

HP laptop deals

HP laptops are stocked by nearly every laptop retailer, but most of the ‘deals’ you’ll find are at Currys, with dozens of models available. Most HP laptops go on sale at a higher price and are discounted by at least £100 after a month or so. 

HP also sells directly through its website, so it’s always worth checking there for discounts and voucher codes.

Read our HP laptop reviews.

Lenovo laptop deals

As with Asus, Lenovo models are found scattered around the high street and at online-only retailers, so it’s worth doing your research. We’ve often found you get the best price buying direct from the Lenovo website, so always check there before you buy.

When and where are the laptop sales?

You shouldn't need to pay full price for a laptop, but just because a deal exists, it doesn’t mean it’s worthwhile. Here's how to see through the tricks of the trade at key retailers.

Currys laptop deals and ‘clearance’ sales

At certain times of the year, Currys loads up its clearance pages with laptop deals. Despite what the term ‘clearance’ might suggest, discounts on these models can sometimes be very slim. 

If you spot a discount, check whether rival stores are selling it for less. We've seen laptops initially go on sale for a higher price, then drop to something more reasonable. 

Currys also operates a price-matching scheme, but this may not always be as good as it seems. Many of the laptops it sells are exclusive to the store; it might be an exclusive colour or a slight change in specification, but this is enough to mean the model won't qualify for a price match.

See Currys' clearance sales.

Check out the best laptops for all budgets, based on our tough, independent lab tests.

Amazon laptop deals

Amazon often has the best price on a given laptop, but it's always worth checking whether it's being sold directly by Amazon or a marketplace seller. If it's the latter, check the seller's reviews before buying. Amazon does have a wide variety of notebooks on sale at any given time. However, many of its bestsellers are quite old – some are even second-hand. It’s always worth checking this site, though, just in case it has a laptop you’re interested in at a discount.

Also, be wary of small-brand laptops sold exclusively on Amazon. We’ve tested a few and none have impressed us – despite the overwhelming number of positive reviews from buyers.

See Amazon's laptop deals.

Argos laptop deals

Argos often has good deals on individual laptops, so it’s always worth checking there to see what’s new. However, watch out for ‘deals’ marked as ‘wow’, as these can quite often not be deals at all and simply reflect Argos wanting you to pay attention to a product. Also, look out for pointers that say ‘great new price’ – we’ve seen in the past that the new price can be higher than the old one.

The best bet for Argos deals is to look for ‘clearance’ deals, as these are normally genuine discounts.

See Argos laptop clearance deals.
