• Examples: Refurbished Dell Latitude 5490 at £299.97 with 1-year warranty; Refurbished Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 at £749.97 listed as excellent and heavily discounted.

Gaming & Creator Workstation Picks

High performance for gaming and content creation (representative models)

• Medion ERAZER Major 16 — Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB, 2TB, RTX 5070 Ti, 16″ 300Hz — £1,799.98 (2-year warranty) — aimed at professionals and high-end gamers.
• MSI Vector 16 / Vector 17 — RTX 4080 / RTX 5070 Ti variants — priced across £1,199–£2,199 range depending on spec — high refresh displays and desktop-class GPUs in laptop form.
• MSI Katana and other RTX 40/50 series laptops (e.g., RTX 4060, 5060) provide strong 1080p/1440p gaming at discounted prices in the listings; check cooling and power profile for sustained workloads.
• Commentary: These systems target users who need sustained CPU/GPU power. The listed warranties (sometimes 2 years on Medion) and included free delivery increase value, but confirm thermal performance and weight/portability implications before purchase.

Important Terms & Conditions — Consolidated

• Finance (consolidated): Pay in 3 interest-free payments for purchases of £30–£2,000; 0% interest for 4 months available on purchases over £99. All finance offers are subject to credit status and eligibility, and terms vary by provider. The monthly “From” figures shown on product pages are illustrative; the actual APR, deposit and term must be confirmed at checkout.
• Promotional dates & eligibility: Where a specific promotional period is mentioned (for example Acer’s free 3-year warranty: 1 July–31 December 2025), claims must be made within that window and via the required registration process. Only qualifying SKUs are eligible for that promotion.
• Refurbished items: Condition labels such as “Excellent Condition” or BSI Kitemark certification indicate refurbishment grading or specific refurbishment standards in the product description. Warranty terms vary (1 year is commonly stated for refurbished business machines; some gaming models include 2-year warranties). Verify refurbishment grading, included accessories, battery health and the precise warranty period on the product page.
• Delivery & returns: Delivery timeframes are as shown per listing (e.g., “Delivery from tomorrow”, or specific dates). Free delivery applies to many products for most of the UK, but there can be exceptions for remote addresses, heavy items or specific bundles. Returns policy is not reproduced here — verify the retailer’s returns and refund policy before you buy.
• Availability & pricing: Product stock, price, savings and finance examples shown are time-limited and subject to change. Representative “was” prices and savings calculations are taken from the listings and may differ by model and time of purchase.
• Warranties & extras: Extra items like Free Norton VPN for 1 year or free accessory packs appear with some listings; verify redemption process, activation steps and expiry of those extras when you receive the product.

How to choose among these promotions — brief buying advice

• Identify primary use: Choose MacBooks for macOS-based creative workflows and battery life, Intel/AMD notebooks for Windows compatibility and a broader hardware selection, and gaming laptops (MSI, Medion, Lenovo LOQ) for dedicated GPU performance.
• Check the value of the warranty and included extras: For business use, the Acer TravelMate + free 3-year warranty promotion may reduce long-term support costs. For refurbished machines, confirm the warranty length and refurbisher standard.
• Finance & affordability: Use Pay in 3 interest-free or 0% for 4 months only if the retailer’s finance provider approves you. Confirm the full finance contract terms prior to acceptance.
• Delivery & timing: If you need a device quickly, prefer the listings marked “In Stock — Delivery from tomorrow” or Next Day Delivery (where offered), but check postcode coverage for free delivery.
• Double-check exact SKU/spec before checkout: Many models have near-identical names but different RAM/storage/GPU options — pick the SKU that matches the spec you need.
