Rules of this page, so you know what you're looking at: everything listed I've used myself or handled in person. No "RRRP inflation" — the "was" price is what it genuinely sold for recently, not an invented number. If I think a deal is only good for some people, the note column says so. And when something sells out or the price reverts, it comes off the table rather than sitting there looking pretty.
| Product | Was | Now | Retailer | Ends | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (Ryzen 5 7530U, 16GB, 512GB) | £429 | Amazon | 20 Oct | Best value machine of the year — full thoughts. Noisy fan. | |
| 27" 1440p 100Hz IPS monitor (height-adjust) | £149 | Amazon | 19 Oct | My pick #1 from the monitors post, £20 cheaper. Terrible OSD buttons. | |
| Refurb ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 (i5, 16GB, 256GB) | £259 | eBay (accredited seller) | while stock lasts | Stock rotates weekly. Read the checklist first — battery report before buying. | |
| 1TB NVMe SSD (PCIe 3.0, DRAM-less) | £52 | Amazon | 17 Oct | Great second/games drive, not a speed-demon boot drive. | |
| Asus Vivobook S14 OLED (Ryzen 7, 16GB) | £629 | Currys | 31 Oct | The best cheap OLED in my book. Overkill for notes, lovely for media work. | |
| USB-C hub, 6-in-1 (HDMI 4K, 100W passthrough) | £19 | Amazon | 21 Oct | Gets warm under load. Fine for a desk, wouldn't leave it plugged in permanently. | |
| Dual monitor arm, gas spring | £41 | Amazon | 26 Oct | Solved my desk clutter. Clamp is chunky — check your desk thickness. | |
| Full-size wireless keyboard + mouse combo | £29 | Argos | 24 Oct | Noticeable input lag on the mouse for fast-paced gaming. For office work, perfectly fine. |
A word on the one that isn't here: the £349 8GB laptop that's currently plastered across every advert break is deliberately absent. It's not a deal, it's the same machine with £80 off and half the RAM of the IdeaPad. My reasoning is in this month's deals post.
