    For some 'deals', there's really no 'deals' to be had as some laptops have been on sale for a while beforehand, but there are genuine laptop deals to be found. Just going to post some I've found:

    Entry Level (browsing/streaming) 250-350 eur:
    Laptops strictly for web browsing, online streaming and some light office work.
    Under 15 inch:

    Over 15 inch:
    Currys has a decent entry machine Lenovo at 280
    For 330 euro, you get an entry level better in all departments.
    Hard to get better deals than the 2 above to be honest, the Argos one is a belter for the specs. There's online deals a bit cheaper but also requires PM/Parcel Wizard etc, and in the end you're saving about a tenner against the Argos model.

    Light, thin and sleek recommendations:


    Mid Level (entry level gaming/light photo editing) 350-500 eur:
    Entry level gaming such as Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox, and light photo editing (ie not raw editing)
    Under 15 inch:
    Less for gaming and more for productivity, the Acer Spin 3 at 370 pounds looks good for the price with touch adjustable screen.
    Over 15 inch:
    Never thought I'd be recommending something from Argos, but 430 euro from a B&M store is excellent value.



    Light, thin and sleek recommendations:


    Mid-High level (good gaming perf/photo editing/video editing) 500-900 eur:
    Good level quality and performance for modern games, heavy photo editing, light video editing, also good for VMs etc.
    Under 15 inch:

    Over 15 inch:
    Just under 600 pound for a GTX 1650 laptop is decent enough. 120hz effectively useless modern games for a 1650 though.
    500 pound on Currys UK ebay site or their own site for a laptop with RX 560. Its slower than 1650 but for 500 pound its good value. Delivery via PM/Parcelwizard. If interested keep an eye on this, eBay UK normally have a 10% off everything during Black week, so you could pick it up for 450 pound.
    Acer AMD laptop for 470 after coupon applied. Not as sleek as the above AMD laptop but still does the job.
    Littlewoods of all places has a well specc'd Lenovo laptop with a top GPU for 1000 euro. Cheaper than the Lenovo website itself after discount!
    Light, thin and sleek recommendations:
    The Asus Zenbook has a slick finish, weighs just over 1kg at a decent 660 euro, would work nice as a productivity machine on the go

    High Level (top gaming perf/photo ed/video ed + more)1000 eur+:
    No expenses spared. Fly through any tasks seamlessly.
    Under 15 inch:

    Over 15 inch:

    Light, thin and sleek recommendations:


    Netbooks:


    Will post more as I find them but many of the sites price reductions are barely worthy of a 'sale' tag.
