Black Friday savings widely highlighted, with clear price cuts shown next to each model.
Multiple finance options shown per item: “From £x per month” and/or “Pay in 3 interest‑free payments of £x.xx” where eligible.
Perks on select items: free delivery (to most of the UK on marked listings), free accessories (e.g., wireless mouse or backpack), extended warranties on specific brands, and limited voucher codes.

Finance, delivery, warranty and promo terms called out on-page
Pay in 3 interest‑free: shown on many items with an explicit instalment amount; where specifically stated, eligibility is on purchases from £30 to £2,000. Several higher-ticket models display a note indicating the Pay in 3 limit (i.e., not eligible when above £2,000).
Monthly finance: “From £x per month” figures are indicative and vary by lender and checkout options; see the exact figure on each product’s page.
Delivery: many items state “In Stock — Delivery from tomorrow.” Some include “FREE Delivery to most of the UK.” A few list longer lead times (e.g., “Delivery from 8 weeks” or a specific future date).
Warranties: refurbished business laptops commonly show 1-year warranty; Medion ERAZER gaming systems commonly show a 2-year warranty. Individual listings should be checked for the exact coverage.
Voucher codes: MSI Cyborg 15 B2RWFKG-020UK lists “£10 off with MSI10!”. Enter the code at checkout on that SKU.
Refurbished extras: several refurbished SKUs include “Free Norton VPN for 1 year.” Stated only on those specific product pages.
Bundles: numerous listings mention “Matching bundles available” with a stated count; bundle contents vary by listing.
Important spec notes and inconsistencies to double‑check
Samsung Galaxy Book4 (i5, NP754XGJ-CG1UK): title states 256GB SSD while the bullet points state 512GB SSD. Confirm storage capacity before purchase.
MSI Cyborg 15 B2RWFKG-020UK: headline uses “Intel Core 7” and “Windows 11 Plus,” while bullets refer to “Intel Core i7.” Confirm CPU branding (Core i7 vs Core Ultra 7) and Windows edition.
Model labelling across several Samsung Galaxy Book and Core Ultra/i7 items varies; rely on the explicit SKU and bullet specs, and verify CPU model and RAM/SSD at checkout.
Delivery timing: most items state “Delivery from tomorrow,” but some show longer lead times (e.g., “Delivery from 8 weeks” for Lenovo V15 G4 82YU00JYUK, or future‑dated deliveries on certain gaming models). Factor this into your decision.
Pay in 3 limit: very high-value items (e.g., above £2,000) show a disclaimer that Pay in 3 is available only on £30–£2,000 baskets.

Bottom line: how to choose from these promotions
Students and commuters: MacBook Air M1/M2 or Lenovo V14 G4 (Pro OS) balance battery, portability and price. The HP BM2V4EA is the most affordable Windows pick, but note Windows 11 S Mode and 4GB RAM limitations.
Business and productivity: Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro‑OS configs, HP 250/255 G10, and Dell Latitude (new or refurb) offer strong CPU/RAM value and Pro security. Verify SSD sizes and delivery times per SKU.
Refurbished value: Dell Latitude, HP EliteBook, Surface Laptop 5, Acer Travelmate lines deliver excellent price/performance; many include 1‑year warranty and Norton VPN for a year. Check “Excellent Condition” and any “Other grades” pricing.
Gaming on a budget: Medion ERAZER Crawler E30 (RTX 3050) and MSI Katana 15 (RTX 4060) are great 1080p starters; the Lenovo LOQ RTX 4050 is a strong mid‑range pick.
High‑end/creator‑grade: MSI Vector 16 (RTX 4080), Medion ERAZER Major/Beast lines (RTX 5070 Ti/5080/5090), ASUS TUF Ryzen AI 9, and MSI Titan 18 deliver premium performance; check Pay in 3 eligibility on carts over £2,000.
Premium ultraportables: Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro AMOLED touch models and MacBook Pro 14″ M4 excel in displays, battery and AI/creator tasks.
