Bank Holiday laptop sales

Asus 11.6-inch Chromebook: £209.99 £179.99 at Amazon
With 4GB RAM and 32GB of storage, you’re not picking up the most powerful Chromebook in the world here. However, for £179.99 you are getting an excellent price on a cheap, everyday machine for web browsing as well as a free mouse for good measure as well.

Acer Aspire 3 A315-42 15.6-inch laptop: £399 £299.97 at Currys
There’s a fantastic 256GB SSD inside this Acer Aspire laptop deal from Currys, an excellent amount of storage for under £300.
