This week’s best deals at a glance
Another strong week for tech deals, and this time laptops and audio are leading the way. Currys is running extended spring sale pricing across several categories, with notable highlights like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 at £569 (was £899) still live. Amazon UK is also running deep cuts on Anker accessories, and if you have been putting off picking up a charging kit or power bank, this is genuinely the week to do it.
As always, we only include deals where the discount is real and the product is worth buying at full price, let alone the reduced one. No filler, no expired listings.
Best laptop deals this week
MacBook Neo at £569 from Laptops Direct
If you have been waiting for an affordable entry point into the MacBook world, this is probably the best window you will get before summer. The MacBook Neo, Apple’s more affordable mid-range laptop, is currently at its cheapest available price at Laptops Direct for £569.97. It runs an A18 Pro processor (the same chip used in the iPhone 16 Pro) and comes in a premium aluminium chassis. The trade-off is two USB-C ports and no backlit keyboard, but at this price, those are acceptable compromises for most buyers.
This is a newly released machine, so seeing it discounted this quickly is a genuine surprise. Do not expect this price to hang around.
Best for: Anyone wanting their first MacBook without paying flagship prices. Retailer: Laptops Direct Price: £569.97
Asus Vivobook OLED at Currys, saving £400
Currys currently has a strong deal on the Asus Vivobook OLED, featuring a large high-end OLED screen with a modern Intel Core Ultra 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It represents a huge £400 price cut. An OLED display at this price bracket is rare, and it makes a meaningful difference if you spend hours looking at your screen every day. The 1TB SSD is generous for the money and future-proofs the machine properly.
If you do creative work, content editing, or just want the best-looking display at a laptop this price, the Vivobook OLED is worth serious consideration.
Best for: Creative professionals and anyone who values display quality. Retailer: Currys What makes it stand out: OLED screen at a price point where most laptops settle for standard IPS.
Microsoft Surface Laptop at Currys
The Microsoft Surface Laptop is on sale at Currys at a significant discount, powered by the Snapdragon X Plus processor with 16GB of RAM and promising up to 23 hours of battery life. Storage comes in at 256GB. The Snapdragon X Plus is one of the best processors for battery-focused users, and 23 hours of real-world battery life is genuinely hard to find elsewhere. The 256GB storage is the weak point, but if you use cloud storage heavily, it probably will not matter.
Best for: Professionals who travel frequently and need all-day battery life. Retailer: Currys
MacBook Air M5 at £150 off
Apple’s new 15-inch 1TB MacBook Air with M5 chip is currently £150 off. The M5 chip is the latest generation and delivers meaningful performance and efficiency gains over M4. If you want the newest MacBook Air with plenty of storage, this is the deal to catch. Discounts on freshly released Apple hardware are rare, so this one is particularly worth noting.
Best for: Power users who want the latest Apple silicon with plenty of storage.
Best smartphone deals this week
Samsung Galaxy A57 at Currys
Currys has £50 off selected Samsung Galaxy smartphones right now, including the newly released Galaxy A57. The A57 is Samsung’s latest mid-range model, sitting in the sweet spot between budget handsets and the premium Galaxy S series. It brings a solid camera system, clean One UI software, and Samsung’s reassuring multi-year software support commitment.
For anyone upgrading from a two or three-year-old mid-range phone, the A57 at £50 off represents excellent value.
Best for: Android users who want a reliable, well-supported mid-range phone without spending flagship money. Retailer: Currys Saving: £50 off
Refurbished Samsung Galaxy phones from £175
Unlocked 2026 Samsung Galaxy phones are available from £175 right now. If you are open to buying a current-generation handset at a significant discount, refurbished is worth exploring seriously. Samsung’s refurbishment process is thorough, and the devices come with a warranty. For a phone that cost over £700 new, £175 is a price point that changes the conversation entirely.
We have covered refurbished tech buying guides on GrabbedDeals and the short version is: stick to Grade A or “Excellent” condition models from reputable sources and you will be fine.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who still want a current-generation Samsung phone.
Best headphones and audio deals this week
Bose QuietComfort headphones at £100 off from Currys
This is one of the standout deals of the week. The Bose QuietComfort headphones have a £100 discount at Currys right now. The noise cancellation is excellent, the sound is punchy with strong bass, and the battery delivers up to 24 hours of playback per charge. The QuietComfort range sits just below the QuietComfort Ultra in Bose’s lineup, which means you get the same famous ANC technology at a more accessible price. For commuters and anyone working in noisy environments, this is hard to overlook.
We covered noise-cancelling headphone options in our Best Noise Cancelling Headphones guide on GrabbedDeals, and the Bose QC range consistently sits near the top.
Best for: Commuters, office workers, and frequent travellers. Retailer: Currys Saving: £100 off
Sony WF flagship earbuds at Currys
Sony’s flagship wireless earbuds are available with a small but genuine discount at Currys, offering rich and detailed sound according to their four-star review, though the active noise cancellation has been noted as slightly behind leading competitors. A small discount on flagship Sony earbuds is still worth noting, particularly if you have been on the fence. Sony’s audio heritage means you are getting class-leading sound quality even if the ANC is not quite at Bose levels.
Best for: Pure audio quality seekers who prioritise sound over ANC performance. Retailer: Currys
Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 at 20% off
The Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 bone conduction headphones are back at their record-low price with 20% off, the same price seen during Black Friday. They offer outstanding sound, a comfortable fit, and full situational awareness while you listen. Bone conduction headphones have a specific audience but that audience tends to be loyal once they make the switch. If you run, cycle, or commute and need to stay aware of your surroundings, these are the standout option in the category.
Best for: Runners, cyclists, and anyone who needs to hear their environment while listening to music.
Anker MagSafe 3-in-1 Charging Station at 61% off
The Anker MagSafe 3-in-1 Qi2 15W Desktop Charging Station is down to £39 from its usual £100, a saving of 61%. If you own an iPhone, AirPods, and an Apple Watch (or any combination of Qi2-compatible devices), a charging station like this simplifies your desk and eliminates cable clutter. At 61% off it is priced at a level where there is almost no reason not to buy it.
Best for: iPhone users who want a clean desk setup. Saving: 61% off
Best accessories and gadget deals this week
Anker 140W 4-port laptop charger at a new low
Anker’s 140W 4-port laptop charger with smart display is down to £60, its new all-time low price. A 140W charger handles a MacBook Pro and a phone simultaneously without breaking a sweat. The smart display showing wattage output is a genuinely useful feature for understanding how your devices draw power. If you have been using a single-port charger, the upgrade to a multi-port model makes a real difference to how smoothly your desk runs.
Best for: Laptop users who want one charger for everything.
UGREEN 130W power bank at a new all-time low
The UGREEN 130W 20,000mAh 3-port USB-C power bank with smart display is at its new all-time low of £57 today only. 130W output means you can charge a laptop from this power bank quickly, not just trickle-charge it. The 20,000mAh capacity is substantial and the three ports allow simultaneous charging of multiple devices. This is the kind of accessory that genuinely changes how confidently you can work away from a plug.
Note: This is a today-only deal. It will likely revert to a higher price tomorrow.
Best for: Remote workers and travellers who need reliable power on the go.
Kindle Paperwhite 16GB at a discount
The Kindle Paperwhite 16GB model is available at a reduced price. The 7-inch glare-free screen works well in any environment, including direct sunlight, and the battery lasts around 12 weeks. If you read regularly and have not made the move to a dedicated e-reader, a discounted Paperwhite is the obvious entry point. The screen quality is genuinely better than reading on a phone or tablet, and the battery life means you rarely think about charging it.
Best for: Readers who want the best e-reader experience at the lowest reliable price.
Best gaming deals this week
Powercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT saving £60
The Powercolor Hellhound Spectral White AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is currently £639.99 (was £699.99) at Amazon UK, a 9% saving on a GPU with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM that competes with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti at a significantly lower price. GPU deals rarely happen on current-generation cards, so this discount on the RX 9070 XT is notable. The 16GB VRAM keeps you ahead of the curve for several years of gaming and the AMD card holds its own against more expensive Nvidia options in most benchmarks.
Best for: PC builders who want top-tier 1440p and 4K gaming without paying Nvidia flagship prices. Retailer: Amazon UK Saving: £60
Nintendo Switch 2 games from £12
Switch 2 game deals are live from £12, including Mario RPG at 45% off and titles like Yoshi’s Crafted World and Hades II at reduced prices. If you already own a Switch 2 and your library feels thin, this week is a good time to fill the gaps. Mario RPG at 45% off is the headline find here. Hades II at a discount is also worth noting as it is one of the best reviewed games of the year.
Best for: Switch 2 owners who want to build their game library.
Deals we would skip this week
Not every discount is worth your money. Here are a few you should think carefully about before clicking buy.
Budget sub-£200 Windows laptops. Unless it is specifically a Chromebook, laptops priced below £200 on Windows rarely deliver a satisfying experience. The hardware is typically just too constrained for modern Windows 11 to run smoothly.
Older AirPods models at “discounts.” Older AirPods generations are still widely listed and discounted, but with AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 now available with newer features, buying the older models at a small discount rarely represents the best value. Check the generation carefully before buying.
Generic smart home devices from unknown brands. The smart home category is full of very cheap devices from unrecognised brands that lack long-term software support. Stick to Amazon, Google, or established brands if you want your smart devices to still work in two years.
Where to look next week
Memorial Day sales are approaching in the US market, and UK retailers typically run their own parallel events in early to mid-May. With Currys’ current extended spring deals expected to wrap up soon and no confirmed major UK sales events until Amazon Prime Day in July, the next few weeks represent a strong window to buy before prices normalise.
Frequently asked questions
How do you check that a deal is genuine before featuring it? We cross-reference prices against historical data using tools like CamelCamelCamel for Amazon prices and check retailer price history before including any deal. If a product was never actually sold at the “was” price for a meaningful period, we do not include it. We only feature deals where the current price represents a real saving against what you would have paid over the past three to six months.
Which retailers should I check first for UK tech deals? For laptops and audio, Currys and Amazon UK are the two most consistently competitive. John Lewis is worth checking for premium items because of its two-year guarantee. For refurbished and used tech, Back Market and Music Magpie offer solid options. Argos is good for small electronics and accessories. We cover all of these regularly in our weekly roundup.
Is it safe to buy refurbished tech? Yes, provided you buy from a reputable seller and check the grade carefully. Grade A or “Excellent” refurbished devices typically look and perform almost identically to new ones. Reputable sellers include Currys’ own refurbished section, Back Market, and Amazon’s Renewed programme.
Is the Bose QuietComfort worth buying over the Sony WH-1000XM6? They target slightly different priorities. Bose wins on noise cancellation and comfort for long listening sessions. Sony edges ahead on sound quality customisation and codec support. For most people, especially commuters, Bose remains the easier recommendation.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2026? Amazon has not officially confirmed the date yet, but based on recent years it is expected in July 2026. That is typically the biggest tech deals event of the summer. We will publish a preview guide ahead of the event on GrabbedDeals.
Conclusion
This is a genuinely strong week for deals, particularly in the laptop and audio categories. The Bose QuietComfort at £100 off is the single best value deal running right now. On laptops, the MacBook Neo at £569 and the Asus Vivobook OLED at £400 off both stand out as purchases you are unlikely to regret. If you only have budget for one accessory, the Anker MagSafe charging station at 61% off makes your desk better for less money than a takeaway meal.
