This particular deal is for the 13.5in version of the laptop, which first launched in 2022. It’s got a 12th-gen Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, which should be plenty for most daily duties. Microsoft reckons the battery is good for up to 18 hours of use between charges. Thunderbolt 4 connectivity should ensure speedy data transfers, too.

For your money, you’re getting a fantastic ultraportable laptop. We gave it four stars in our Surface Laptop 5 review, noting that while a few things held it back from greatness (notably a 720p webcam and a limited port selection), the overall package was difficult to dislike.

If you want a bit more power, the Core i7 version of the laptop is available for £999 – a steep 41% discount from the original £1700 asking price. It also doubles up on memory to 16GB, which should help out with multitasking and more demanding applications.

These deals are unfortunately only available to Prime members. But this potential annoyance is easily overcome, given how easy it is to get a 30-day FREE trial for Prime. You can cancel at any time, and if you decide to keep it, it’ll set you back £79 for the year or £7.99 a month.
