Dell is currently running its Black Friday in July event which runs until Tuesday July 17th. Every day at 8am, Dell will release a new discount code which you can apply at checkout. The codes usually last for one day only, so you will have to act fast.
You can save hundreds of pounds on laptops (and PCs), on ranges such as Alienware, Inspiron (both 13in and 15in models), XPS (13in and 15in models) and more. See all Dell Black Friday in July deals here.
If you’re after a MacBook, you can get 7.3% off any MacBook Pro from KRCS until August 5th, 2018. This saves you up to £200, depending on which model you buy. MacBook Pros with Touch Bar also qualify for the discount. Simply use the code MBP73 at checkout. See all KRCS MacBook Pros here.
You’ll find some great laptop deals on sites including Amazon, Currys, and Argos. You can find a ton more good deals on all things tech on our main deals site.
There are often decent savings on Microsoft’s Surface range at the moment, as the company is trying to shift seventh generation Intel chip models as we see the eighth generation Coffee Lake replace Kaby Lake.
Retailers like Currys PC World, John Lewis, Argos and AO almost always have plenty of deals on laptops. With the right offer you’ll be able to pick up a half decent machine for around £300 instead of £500, for example – not bad.
You might also see reductions on budget laptops (below £200 or so) but bear in mind that you are getting what you pay for here – they might be fine for web browsing and Netflix, but they’ll be slow and unreliable for anything more challenging than that. That’s especially true of Chromebooks, which pair low specs with a simple OS for wallet-friendly prices but a slightly more limited feature set.
Higher-ticket items like a Surface Pro or HP’s ultrabooks may still be expensive at around £800, but you might be able to save a few hundred on the RRP.
Apple’s MacBooks are a little trickier to get discounts on, as offers are rare, but you can often pick up a model that’s a year or two old for less than the RRP (and still get great performance), and it’s also always worth checking out Apple’s official refurbished store .
Amazon usually has some of the biggest bargains. If you find that you’re missing out on Amazon’s Lightning deals, which run for just a few hours and offer limited stock, we’d recommend signing up for Amazon’s 30 day free trial of Prime, which will get you access to deals 30 minutes before everyone else.
