They summarise the deals, call out important terms and conditions that affect price and payment, flag specification or listing inconsistencies you should check, and provide buying recommendations for different needs (student, business, creator, gamer). All details below are taken from the captured listings and the promotions shown alongside them.
At-a-glance summary of the promotions

Refurbished business laptops
- Dell Latitude 5490 (refurbished) — Intel Core i5 (8th gen), 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 14″ — £299.97 (SAVE £50). Marked “Excellent Condition” + 1-year warranty + free Norton VPN for 1 year on some refurbished Dell/Lenovo/Acer TravelMate listings.

- Notes: Refurbished units are a cost-effective option. Listings explicitly state condition (for example “Excellent Condition”) and often include a 1‑year warranty. Confirm the warranty length and who provides it (retailer or manufacturer) and whether any software (Windows activation, drivers) is included and up to date.
Gaming laptop highlights (representative)

- MSI Vector 16 (i7-14650HX, RTX 4080) — £1,549.00 (SAVE £551) with free MSI backpack on that listing.
- Many more options captured: RTX 3050 / 4050 / 4060 / 5070 / 5070Ti / 5080 / 5090, 14″–18″ screen sizes, high-refresh displays (144Hz–300Hz), and high-end workstation-style machines (eg. ThinkPad P16 workstation, Razer, ASUS ROG refurb units above £2k).
- Notes: Gaming models often show “From [monthly cost] · Pay in 3 interest-free payments of …”. Check the finance eligibility range and confirm whether the pay-in-3 option applies to the specific price (see finance terms).
Finance, payment and voucher terms (important)
- Pay in 3 interest-free payments: the captured pages repeatedly show “Pay in 3 interest-free payments” with example instalment amounts. The finance summaries state: “Pay in 3 interest-free payments available on purchases £30–£2,000. Subject to status. Terms apply.” That means pay-in-3 will generally only apply for purchases between £30 and £2,000 and is subject to credit/eligibility checks.
- 0% interest offer: one page (gaming laptops) shows “0% Interest for 4 months available on all purchases over £99.” If you plan on using a multi-month interest-free promo, confirm at checkout whether your order/finance provider is eligible for the 0% 4-month offer.
- Examples shown on listings (e.g., “From £19 per month”) are illustrative financing breakdowns and may assume eligibility for a particular finance product. Always confirm the exact monthly repayments, deposit required (if any), interest rate, and total amount payable in the retailer’s finance terms when you proceed to checkout.
- Voucher/coupon calls-to-action: some product pages show coupon-like offers (for example “£10 off with MSI10!”). Treat these as promotional notes — verify coupon validity, eligibility, expiry, and whether the code applies to the SKU you’re buying.
- “Subject to status” means finance is conditional on credit checks and retailer/finance partner terms. If you are planning a purchase mainly to use a payment plan, check the finance approval criteria before assuming the shown instalments will be available to you.
Delivery, availability and timescale notes
- Most product lines repeatedly advertise: “In Stock — Delivery from tomorrow” or “FREE Delivery to most of the UK”. This is common throughout the listing capture, but is subject to change and regional delivery exceptions.
- Some listings show different lead times for specific models: examples include “Delivery from 4 weeks”, “Delivery from Mon 17th Nov”, or “Delivery from Thurs 13th Nov”. If you need a laptop immediately, confirm the specific SKU’s delivery estimate — product-level lead times override generic statements.
- “Free Delivery to most of the UK” is stated multiple times. Verify during checkout whether your delivery postcode is included and what shipping method is used (standard, next-day, or timed delivery). Extra-cost expedited shipping may be available for an added fee.
Condition, warranty and refurb details
- Refurbished devices: listings mark some items as “Refurbished” and often append condition labels like “Excellent Condition”. Several refurbished listings explicitly include a 1‑year warranty and mention a free Norton VPN subscription for 1 year in the listing text.
- New devices: many new models are shown with manufacturer-supplied specifications and may not have retailer-specific warranty statements in the capture. Some brand-new products (for example Medion ERAZER models) explicitly list a 2-year warranty on the product page capture.
- Always confirm: who provides the warranty (manufacturer vs retailer/refurbisher), the length of the warranty, what is and is not covered (battery, wear & tear, accidental damage if any), and how to make a claim.
Bundles, freebies and one-time promotions
- “Add Norton to win your order!” appears on many product listings. The phrase likely relates to an optional antivirus promotion or prize entry; verify the precise promotion mechanics at the retailer’s checkout or promotional terms — the capture does not include the full mechanics or eligibility rules.
- Free digital items: several refurbished/second-hand listings include “Free Norton VPN for 1 year” or “Free Norton 360 worth £19.97” on particular models.
- Included accessories: some gaming models include accessories — examples from the capture: HyperX Pulsefire wired mouse and mouse mat (HP Victus model), HyperX wireless mouse & HyperX Cloud headset (HP OMEN listing), portable charger (one Samsung Galaxy Book4 listing), free MSI backpack with certain MSI Vector 16 listings. Check the exact bundle contents on the product page for the SKU you’re ordering; bundle contents can vary between SKUs and bundles.
- Coupons: occasional coupon codes (e.g., “MSI10” for £10 discount) appear in the listings. Confirm coupon applicability and expiry at checkout.
Important checks & warnings before you buy
- Verify SKU and full specification: some listings show inconsistent storage figures or variants in different parts of the page (example: a Samsung Galaxy Book4 listing shows 256GB in the title but 512GB in the feature text). Always check and confirm the SKU, storage, RAM, CPU model, GPU, screen size/resolution and OS at checkout.
- Confirm finance eligibility and range: pay-in-3 is limited to purchases between £30 and £2,000 per the finance notes captured. For items priced above £2,000, the pay-in-3 option may not be available despite the page sometimes showing pay-in-3 calculations. Confirm the final finance product offered at checkout.
- Check the warranty and refurbisher/retailer support for refurbished items: refurbished laptops shown as “Excellent Condition” typically come with a warranty (often 1 year), but the provider (retailer or manufacturer) and exact coverage should be checked.
- Confirm delivery date to your postcode: “In Stock — Delivery from tomorrow” is frequently used but can be inaccurate for particular SKUs or regions; refer to checkout shipping dates for guaranteed delivery slots.
- Bundle content & freebies: matching bundles are noted on many listings; ensure the bundle you select includes the accessories you expect and that any “free” item is listed in the final order summary.
- Return & refund policy: the capture does not include full returns or refund policy text. Before purchasing, review the retailer’s returns, refunds, and cancellation policy (including any restocking or return shipping costs) for both new and refurbished items.
Who should consider the different deal types?
- Budget / students: low-cost options such as the HP BM2V4EA (i3, 4GB/256GB — £249.97) or refurbished Dell/Lenovo units provide strong value for general tasks and study. The M1 MacBook Air at £549.97 is an excellent portable alternative for macOS users.
- Business / hybrid work: Lenovo V14/V15 and HP 250/255 series provide Windows productivity configurations (Core i5/i7 or Ryzen 5) with business features and Windows 11 Pro variants. Refurbished Dell Latitude and TravelMate models can be a good value for business buyers on tighter budgets.
- Content creators / power users: MacBook Pro (M4) and higher-end Galaxy Book5 Pro (Core Ultra 7) are oriented towards creators who need strong CPU/GPU acceleration and colour-accurate displays. Verify RAM and storage sizes for heavy workloads.
- Gamers: MSI, Medion ERAZER, Lenovo Legion, Acer Nitro and ASUS TUF lines provide a large choice from RTX 3050 up to RTX 5090 and high-refresh displays; choose GPU and display spec to match the resolution/frame-rate target you want (1080p high FPS vs 1440p/QHD or 4K).
Final verdict and practical advice
- These captures show a wide and genuine spread of Black Friday price reductions and bundle incentives across entry-level to high-end machines. The best savings are often on last-generation models and on gaming laptops where high MSRP allows larger “save” amounts.
- Key practical steps before purchase: confirm SKU/spec, check final price and whether any coupon/code applies, verify finance eligibility (especially for pay-in-3 or 0% offers), confirm exact delivery date to your address, and read the warranty/returns details (especially for refurbished units).
- Because listings sometimes repeat financing numbers even when the price exceeds stated finance caps, do not assume the pay-in-3 option will be accepted until the finance application is approved at checkout.
- If you value support and warranty, new devices with manufacturer warranties or Medion/other listings that specify a 2‑year warranty are preferable. If you want the lowest price for a capable machine, refurbished “Excellent Condition” items with a 1‑year warranty are often a strong value — confirm the refurbisher’s policy and return window before finalising.
Reminder: This review is based on the product listings and promotional capture you provided. Product prices, stock, finance offers, coupon validity, and delivery dates change quickly during Black Friday promotions — always verify the current product page, finance terms and the retailer’s full terms & conditions at checkout before you finalise your order.
