I found 4 work and study laptops that are actually worth buying and no, they're not on Amazon for Prime Day

No kidding, Currys is turning out to be a bit of a goldmine for cheap laptops for business and the back to school season. I went through all the deals to find 4 laptops that boast snappy processors and 16GB DDR5 RAM for smoothly tackling work in the office and at school.

My top all-rounder is the Asus Vivobook S16 for £599 (was £999). This lightweight OLED laptop with a 16-inch screen will effortlessly handle day-to-day tasks most professionals and students need. And it won't break the bank doing any of it.

I've been tracking all the best Prime Day home office deals this year. And while there are plenty of discount laptops on Amazon that absolutely aren't worth your time or money, I was pleasantly surprised to see some genuinely good price drops in the Currys summer sale.

Intel Core Ultra 5 255H | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD

This 16-inch laptop caught my eye for its responsive Core Ultra chip, and long battery life. But the real bonus here is the OLED screen that hits 95% DCI-P3 colour coverage for content creation.
