    Good suggestion. Do laptops get discounted / on offer often?
    A good place to look for discounts and offers is https://www.hotukdeals.com/tag/laptop
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    At CostCo? Only been a member for a month (joined specifically to buy that laptop) but there have been a couple of computers on "special". Latest list has a £2K Cyberpower gaming pc and a LG Gram laptop for 1.2K.

    It must be pointed out though that Costco membership is not free so if you're just considering it to buy just a single item such as the laptop then you'll have to factor in the extra cost of membership to the price too.

    Absolutely, which is why I now have 16 tubes of toothpaste, 5 kilos of chicken breasts and 128 toilet rolls as well as a laptop.

    Guy in Currys once tried to sell me an extended warranty on an 8 quid microwave rice cooker pot.
    Of more concern is the fact some people will actually buy it.
