It’s Back to School sale season and Acer has a number of compelling deals on laptops, desktop PCs, and a doozy of a gaming monitor discount.

All these deals run from today up until September 30, at the following retailers: Amazon, AO.com, Argos, Box, BuyItDirect, Currys/PC World, Ebuyer, Overclockers, Scan, and Very.

Acer’s UK Store also carries these offers, as you’d expect, so you can grab some tempting deals online there, plus there are some additional freebies with certain hardware purchases.

Any Nitro laptop comes with a free Nitro gaming headset worth £49.99, and Acer Swift 3, 5 or 7 notebooks benefit from an extended three or four-year warranty, along with Love2Shop vouchers worth up to £100.

Predator notebooks, desktop PCs or monitors have a variety of freebies worth up to £225, including a utility backpack and a mouse, with all hardware getting an extended three-year warranty (for the full details on these various Predator bonuses, check here).

Of course, because we’re good like that, we’ve highlighted a few of the juiciest deals below, so that might be a worthwhile first port of call if you want to get a flavour of what’s on offer.

Acer Predator X27 4K Monitor £1,799.95 £1,489.99 at OverclockersUK
This 27-inch HDR monitor delivers 4K resolution at a fast 144Hz refresh rate, and we noted in our review that it offers amazing image quality – but it’s hampered by an extortionate price. At launch, this sold for £2,200, but Overclockers had knocked that down to £1,799.95, and with a further 17% off in this current deal, the X27 is now £1,489.99. Still expensive, but over £700 off the launch price.
