Day deals, but this one stopped me in my tracks. Currys is running an excellent summer sale on back-to-school and business laptops, but Amazon has absolutely crushed them on the price of the Asus Zenbook A14 for 500 (was
600) for Prime Day.

This 14-inch OLED laptop features a Snapdragon X X1-26-100 processor that's engineered for day-to-day work and study tasks, alongside 16GB LPDDR5X
memory, and a well-sized 1TB SSD. For general office and school tasks, that's pitch-perfect for the price.

Over at Currys, however, the exact same model is priced at 599 (was 999) for the Snapdragon-powered machine with 16GB RAM and - wait for it - 512GB SSD. So, you're getting twice as much SSD storage from Amazon at an even cheaper price. I wouldn't even look twice at Currys for this specific model while
this Prime Day deal is live.

Only buy this if Amazon's Zenbook deal isn't available. It's a good price,
but it's lacking the storage space the Prime Day deal has. View Deal That's not to say the Currys summer sale is bad. In fact, having charted all the deals, I found it a treasure trove of well-priced laptops for work and study. You can see my article on the top 4 laptop deals at Currys here .

But considering the massive price difference, and the improved SSD size, I'd go for the Amazon deal all-day long (or while it lasts, which might not be long as Prime Day ends tomorrow).

We were impressed with the A14 when we reviewed this laptop . Scoring it 4 stars and awarding it a TechRadar Recommends badge, we found this ultra-lightweight MacBook Air-style Windows laptop possessed "brilliant design, capable all-round performance, and an impressive battery life."

As a budget-tier laptop, it's got it faults, but we loved the "fabulously
thin and light" design and performance are impressive. Perfect, then, for campus and the commute. See all laptop deals at Amazon Shop all computing deals at Currys
