Update: Unfortunately, this laptop deal is now expired and the price has jumped back up to £329.99. If you're looking for any similarly affordable options then we'd recommend this Asus Vivobook 15 X515JA for £249.99 at Amazon or you can browse through more laptop deals we've found right now.
Cheap laptops don't get much better than this HP 14s that's reduced by £100 right now at John Lewis. If you've got a budget of around £250 and need an everyday device then you should bag this cheap laptop while you can.
What makes it so good? Well, this HP 14s at John Lewis for £229.99 (was £329.99) features an excellent price for the spec, with an Intel i3 processor, 4GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. Most laptops in this price range usually feature weaker components and a much smaller storage drive so this HP 14 will outperform them with ease. That makes it a great choice for general use - whether that's browsing, sending emails, media streaming or doing basic office tasks. On top of that, it's also an excellent portable option at just 14-inches in size and with a 10-hour battery life.
We really haven't found another laptop available that can compete in terms of value for money. So much so that we've jumped it up to the top spot in our guide to the best laptop deals available this week and think it'll be tough to be in the Amazon Prime Day deals. We'd advise picking this up over a cheap Chromebook, too, as the boost to performance is so significant.
