Amazon slashes £450 ‘powerhouse' laptop to just £230 – and it's ideal for students
The top-rated Jumper S7 15.6-inch laptop is now just £230 on Amazon, down from the usual £450.
That's a hefty 49% discount on a laptop that packs some serious everyday power.
Granted, Jumper might not be a household name, which explains the handful of reviews.
But, with a perfect 5-star rating, it's clear it's something of a hidden gem.
You get 4GB of high-speed RAM, 128GB storage and a 512GB TF card expansion.
That's plenty of room to run multiple programmes without your laptop sounding like it's about to take off.
For students, that means jumping between research tabs, lecture slides and last-minute essays without the dreaded lag.
Better still, it comes with a one-year pre-installed Office 365 subscription (worth £89.99).
That's Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook all included, so you can get stuck into coursework from day one, with no faffing over extra downloads or hidden costs.
The 15.6-inch screen is a decent size at this price point; big enough for comfortable working and perfect for streaming your favourite shows after class.
One reviewer raves: 'I was a bit sceptical about buying a laptop from a brand I wasn't familiar with, but I'm so glad I took the chance
The same shopper continued, "This is a powerhouse for everyday use and an incredible value.'
Another parent wrote: 'Gave it to my son for university activities. Speedy and reliable.'
At just 3.6 lbs, it's light enough to slip into your tote or backpack without putting your back out.
And you won't be tethered to a wall socket either. The 5,000mAh battery typically lasts six to eight hours, so you can work through lectures and still have juice left for Netflix.
One shopper summed it up perfectly: 'It is light enough to carry around all day and the battery easily lasts for hours.'
It's also kitted out with multi-functional ports, including Type-C, USB 3.0, Mini HDMI, and a headphone jack.
If you're heading off to uni, pair it with one of the best extension leads I've tested to give your dorm a few extra ports.
You might also want to check out the best Bluetooth speakers we've tested for your next flat party.
And once you're settled in, why not explore my pick of the top smart home devices to kit out your digs? You'll find everything from smart lighting to robot vacs.

Best-selling 8-in-1 spin scrubber that leaves home 'gleaming' drops to £29
'This really does take the hard work out of so many cleaning chores.' While cleaning can be a burdensome task for many of us, it is something that regularly needs to be done to leave your home looking fresh and to keep you and your loved ones healthy. In order to make this task easier, it is important to have the right cleaning tools on hand to help save time and effort. For those who keep putting off cleaning your bathroom, we have found a best-selling appliance that shoppers say takes all the 'hard work out of cleaning'. Amazon has knocked down the price of the popular Leebein Electric Spin Scrubber. Normally retailing for £49.99, shoppers can now snap up this versatile device for only £29.44 in a limited time deal. Featuring eight replaceable cleaning brushes to use for a variety of scenarios, this Leebein Electric Spin Scrubber will have your house sparkling in no time. With a flat brush for surfaces like tiled floors and walls, the device also comes with a corner brush to help clean grout, faucets and edges. Additionally, shoppers can use the cloth brush for wooden floors and furniture and the sponge to clean windows and shower panels. And if shoppers want to give their car a bit of TLC, this device can also be used for polishing and waxing. Depending on the job you are tackling, the device comes with two spin speeds and an telescopic extension rod so users can clean without getting any back ache. Also equipped with an LED display to track the battery, this scrubber can provide up to 90 minutes of uninterrupted cleaning. For those wanting to shop around a bit, Amazon is also selling the LyriFine Electric Cleaning Brush for £24.99. Equipped with full body IPX7 waterproofing, it comes with a low speed setting for routine cleaning, as well as a high speed for tough stains. Alternatively, Argos is selling the JML Hurricane Spin Electric Cleaning Scrubber for £39.99. Able to blast through soap scum, mildew, calcium, lime and hard water stains, this powerful brush comes with a long handle that can extend over four feet. Back to the Leebein Spin Scrubber, over 18,000 Amazon shoppers have awarded the device a 4.2 star rating, with over 2,000 buying it in the last 30 days. One delighted customer said: "So far the best in cleaning with minimal efforts. Quality is sturdy, the multi purpose brush heads help to ease work as required. The battery lasts long for the entire cleaning, have used it for about an hour after the first full charge and it has stayed for cleaning twice." With another five-star reviewer adding: "I found this product to be excellent, comes with eight different attachments to use for cleaning different products. Tried it out as soon as I got it and cleaned my bathroom, sink, bath, tiles, floor. It was a complete back saver and my partner can't wait to try it out on the car." However, one shopper did leave a mixed review, writing: "This really does take the hard work out of so many cleaning chores. If, like me, you hate housework, you get much more to show for your time and effort. "But beware - only use the sponge on glass. I stupidly used the scourer pad and it has scratched my windows. I am now more cautious with other surfaces too. I wish there was a very slow speed for controllability." Despite this, a top reviewer commented: "I've only used this in the bathroom so far but here it has done a really good job. The tiles are now gleaming, with very little effort. With arthritic hands I always find cleaning quite difficult but this has made it so much easier for me. "The size makes it comfortable to hold and the attachments are easy to put on and change and there seems to be one for every type of job in the house. There's also the bonus that I don't have to bend or stoop to floor level to use it." Amazon has slashed 41 per cent off the Leebein Electric Spin Scrubber as part of a limited time deal.

Ezviz RS20 Max review – powerful robot vacuum with detachable mops
The Ezviz RS20 Max is an impressive high-end robot vacuum with some very clever features | Ezviz This article contains affiliate links.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... In the impressive world of flagship robot vacuums, innovation has been a bit slow recently. Most premium devices now have a wet mopping function, with spinning mop heads that can be washed at the base. LiDar is a common feature, anti-tangle technology usually shows up in some form and, of course, they empty and fill their own waste containers. It leaves you with a tricky decision to make if you do want to invest in the best robot vacuums in the market, and the huge discounts offered by some brands make it all the more testing. I've spent several weeks testing the Ezviz RS20 Max, and it's priced currently at £499 (if you can catch a deal on Amazon) and that makes it a contender in the battle for the high-spec household robots. It's a big unit. Not only is the robot itself a fair size, but the base station is a monster - it has two water tanks; one for dirty and one for clean, and then a large waste bin. The main reason for its size, though, is its clever mop-washing and drying system. Sure, the likes of Eufy fit a mop-washing station into a smaller base, but the Ezviz RS20 Max has a trick up its sleeve. Unlike pretty much any other robot vacuum on the market, the RS20 Max can shed its two mop heads, and leave them in the base. It has the ability to self-detach its two mop heads whenever it detects carpet | Ezviz This means there's no soggy fabric being dragged behind it. That's never a problem on hard surfaces because they're always lifted away, but it's always been an issue for people with a mix of carpet and hard floors. You'll know what I mean if you've ever seen soggy patches on the edge of a rug. It's such a simple idea, but brilliantly executed by Ezviz, and it's one of two key innovations in the RS20 Max. Another clever feature that's rarely seen is access to the on-board camera. Through the accompanying app, you can send the robot out on its travels and watch where it's going in real time. The use case for this is impressive. It effectively turns your robot into a home security system. Paranoid about an intruder? Just send your little sentry out on duty. Need to keep an eye on a pet or family member? Just monitor them on the app. This would be little more than a mere gimmick if the vacuuming and mopping functions were lacklustre, but thankfully, they're not. It's a sizeable device, but quite low-profile In fact, with 13,000Pa of suction, the RS20 Max is one of the more powerful robot vacuums out there. And its CutFree brush system had no issues with my labradoodle's fur offerings. The mopping function is perhaps less impressive, but I've yet to find a robot mopping system that properly wows me. And the fact that the robot will dash off and drop off its tools at the base station automatically if it detects a carpet is such a clever bit of tech. It's also one of the most impressive mop washing systems I've tested too. Perhaps because they can be detached, they're washed and dried incredibly effectively, and surprisingly quickly. The obstacle avoidance system is very clever, and its LiDar system maps your house very well, but its low profile can cause issues on thick rugs. Mine has got stuck a few times. Battery life is decent, and it's not too noisy, even while it's on the base station having a quick charge up and refresh. It can sometimes get stuck on rugs, but usually it sorts itself out | Ezviz So in just about every measurable way, the Ezviz RS20 Max is as impressive as a £500 robot vacuum needs to be. It does a great job of mopping, it has powerful suction, the app is great, it's easy to set up, and it's easy to live with. The detachable wash pads will only be of use to someone who has a share of carpet and hard floors, or perhaps hard floors and some rugs, and it'll be up to you to decide how useful the camera surveillance system is.

'Bournemouth laughing all the way to the bank' - is Ouattara wise business?
We asked for your views on Brentford agreeing a record deal of up to £42.5m for Bournemouth forward Dango you think the Burkina Faso international will improve Keith Andrews' team or are the Bees being overcharged?Here are some of your comments:George: A great acquisition, as always, from Brentford. A skilful and rapid carrier of the ball who knows how to cross into the box, which will pair well with Schade's great heading ability and Thiago's hold-up Quite an elegant solution to our problems. It looks like he would be more of a Mbeumo replacement, but the fact he can play through the middle also means that he can provide cover for losing Wissa. He seems to be an adaptable player that we will be able to develop in either role. The fee is excessive but that is what you pay for young players who are Premier League proven these days, I Nine goals, you're having a laugh! Bournemouth are laughing all the way to the If you strip it all back, the recruitment team are looking at a very small pool of players. They need someone of the right age who has Premier League experience and has a proven track record of goals. They don't come cheap and Ouattara ticks a lot of those A great purchase and a great replacement for Wissa. He can now go to Newcastle for around the same money, while we get a player who is proven and has a great His expected goals and assists per 90 minutes is high. You have to trust the club here. His flexibility across the frontline is great. Looking at the club's past business, it is hard to question the move without insider knowledge.
