Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3: was £269.99 now £199.99 at Amazon
We're big fans of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet at TechRadar so definitely want to share this terrific low price on the basic configuration of the flexible 11-inch laptop. In our very positive Lenovo Chromebook Duet review, we thought the original version offered an excellent balance between tablet portability and Chromebook flexibility. This version comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage - both fairly light but fine for very basic use and light tasks. Still, the day-long battery life is a huge boost for those who are always on the go.

MacBook Air (M1, 2020): was £999 now £799 at Amazon
This is a great price for the previous generation MacBook Air M1 - although it is £20 away from the previous record-low. Even though a newer M2 model is now available, this is still a very powerful creative workstation that'll suit most users. If you've had an eye on the device we called a 'game-changer' in our MacBook Air M1 review, then now's still a good time to buy as this is the cheapest price we've seen since July.
