SCIENCE & TECH: Today’s January sales can save you up to £650 on a brand new laptop – but they’re ending soon

On the hunt for a new laptop? The January sales have some superb options right now on everything from super-cheap Windows 11 machines to high-end Apple MacBooks. Take note, however, that the best sales are starting to wind down now, so there isn’t much left to score a discount.

As TechRadar’s retail editor, I’ve been scanning through all of today’s best January sales to find the best discounts on laptops. Just down below, you can see 8 fantastic deals of varying prices and types.

Strictly on a budget? Great low-cost options include this HP Chromebook Plus for £249 (was £399) and this Lenovo IdeaPad 1 for £319 (was £499) at Currys today. Spend a little more, however, then you could get fantastic mid-range options like the Asus Vivobook 16 for £599 (was £949), or the Apple MacBook Air M2 for only £699 (was £999) – a record-low price for this still-fantastic machine.

Today’s discounts also feature great options for gaming laptops, which are laid out in more detail just down below alongside the rest of this week’s recommendations. As previously stated, the January sales are likely to end imminently, so don’t miss out if you’re looking for a new laptop to start off 2026 on the right foot.
