That’s a typical discount for this model, but it’s still a solid deal if you’re after a larger-screen machine. The IPS panel offers a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 300-nit brightness, and 45% NTSC colour coverage. It can run for up to 10 hours on a single charge thanks to the 41Wh battery, and it comes with Wi-Fi 6 plus a full-size backlit keyboard with a numpad.

You can now also get an extra 13% off using the code FUTURE13% – bringing the price down to the lowest we have seen.
