Schools and universities are set to reopen their doors in the coming weeks, and although things might be a little different this year, it's important that you have all the right equipment in order to perform at your best on your new educational adventure - no matter whether you're returning to the classroom or studying from home.
John Lewis has you covered, as it's offering the Asus E410MA for the impressively-low price of £249.95.
The lightweight laptop, which tips the scales at just 1.3kg, is perfectly portable; it'll easily slip into a backpack or small bag, and if you're studying from home, it's easily transferrable between rooms.
Don't let its small size fool you, as the Asus E410MA comes equipped with all of the specs and features you'll need to power through your work; the laptop's Intel Celeron N4020 processor gives you enough speed for browsing, emailing and writing essays, and the CPU promises to keep pace with your needs as its two cores will adjust their speed depending on the complexity of the task they are working on.
The great value laptop also packs a decent-sized 14-inch HD resolution display with anti-glare technology, 64GB of storage for all of your files, plenty of ports for all of your accessories, and a built-in webcam for online meetings. There's also a unique Numberpad built into the trackpad, which will make working with spreadsheets an absolute breeze.
Once the school day is done, the Asus E410MA is also a great laptop for play. The built-in Intel UHD Graphics 600 will enable you to enjoy a number of classic older games, along with some casual web-based gaming, while the built-in speakers featuring ICEpower technology will provide a good all-round multimedia experience.
It certainly impresses in the specs department, but perhaps the most interesting thing about this laptop, however, is its design. Not only does the lid fold flat so that you can collaborate with others, but it also comes decorated with a modern pattern that will ensure it stands out in the classroom.
This bold look continues inside where a bright yellow Enter key takes centre stage, and John Lewis is also offering the laptop in a striking Blue Navy colour option.
With John Lewis, you'll also get a free one-year subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal worth £59.99. This gives you worry-free access to premium Office apps including Word, Excel and PowerPoint, 1TB of cloud storage, and advanced security for email and files.
Of course, none of this would matter without an excellent battery life, and thankfully the Asus E410MA delivers. With up to 12 hours of battery life from a single charge, the laptop gives you the flexibility to work or play anywhere.
The Asus E410MA is available to buy now at John Lewis priced at £249.95, both in-store and online. The retailer even throwing in a two-year guarantee free of charge.
