While laptops are handy devices for taking notes, streaming or browsing the web and social media, many of the latest models on the market come with hefty price tags, especially if tech lovers are fans of Apple. For example, the latest 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro is currently retailing from £1,499.

So have to contact staff to sort which can take a lot of time on WhatsApp. And nobody to actually talk to when trying to sort issues." Despite this, a top reviewer added: "It was very easy to both buy my Macbook Air & equally easy to redeem the voucher qr code to get the order on its way to me." With a sixth shopper commenting: "Make it easy and straightforward to purchase an array of goods from many suppliers from home. "Will certainly use Wowcher again.

HP 14″ Laptop Drops to Peanuts for Students, Comes With MS Office 365, Windows 11, and a 128GB SD Card
The HP 14″ Student‑Laptop shows up ready for the steady shuffle of lectures, research sessions, and late‑night movie breaks. Open it on a library desk and it boots without fuss; slide it into a backpack and the light frame hardly shifts the load. For college or high‑school schedules packed with essays and group chats, it behaves like a reliable classmate who never asks for the spotlight. Head over to Amazon to get the HP 14″ Student‑Laptop for just $280, down from its usual price of $500. That's a discount of $220 and 44% off. See at Amazon Lift the lid and a fourteen‑inch HD panel fills most of the space, thanks to slim side bezels that trim wasted plastic. Text looks sharp during lecture note marathons, and colors stay lively enough for streaming a show between assignments. At a touch over three pounds, the laptop feels closer to a hefty textbook than a brick, so campus walks stay comfortable. Inside, an Intel Celeron processor teams with eight gigabytes of memory. The combo juggles cloud documents, a music stream, and a dozen browser tabs without freezing. A one‑hundred‑twenty‑eight‑gigabyte solid‑state drive keeps boot times brief while storing papers, photos, and offline playlists. If file counts grow faster than expected, a microSD card slot waits politely on the side for easy expansion. Clear calls matter when group projects move online. An HD webcam and twin microphones capture faces and voices even if roommates chat nearby. Wi‑Fi 6 hangs on to a strong signal in crowded dorm halls, while Bluetooth pairs earbuds with a quick tap. Along the edges you will find a modern USB‑C port for fast charging and data, two classic USB‑A slots for flash drives, HDMI for plugging into a dorm‑room TV, and a headphone jack for late‑night study sessions that should stay quiet. Battery stamina usually reaches from breakfast to afternoon seminars. If the gauge drops low, the included charger can push the level to about fifty percent during a sandwich break, enough to handle homework and a bit of gaming before lights out. Keys carry a pleasant spring, keeping long essays from feeling like finger workouts, and the generous touchpad recognises three‑finger swipes that skim through lengthy PDFs in seconds. With tuition, lab fees, and coffee already claiming a fair slice of any student budget, catching this laptop at two hundred eighty dollars leaves room for other essentials. The HP 14″ Student‑Laptop is still available for $280 at Amazon, a welcome step down from the regular $500 price. See at Amazon

Ombudsman orders graft charges vs. Briones, Lao over 'pricey' P2.4B laptops
The Office of the Ombudsman has ordered the filing of graft and falsification charges against former Education Secretary Leonor Briones and former Budget Undersecretary Christopher Lao over the P2.4 billion worth of laptops purchased in 2020, which were deemed "pricey" by the Commission on Audit. The laptops, priced at P58,300 each with an outdated Celeron processor, were purchased by the Department of Education for the implementation of distance learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ombudsman also recommended the filing of charges against several former DepEd and DBM officials involved in the transaction. 'The new bidding parameters, i.e. lower quantity and higher unit price, were reflected in the bidding documents and was used in the bidding process... These parameters facilitated the overprice and the consequent undue injury and gross disadvantage to the government,' the Ombudsman said. The Ombudsman said that the approved series of requests for extensions to deliver the laptops, requests to change payment terms, and other adjustments to the contract terms and conditions which, taken together, 'betray an unusually deferential treatment and favor towards the Joint Venture consortium.' 'Considering the complexity of the scheme and the individual participation of respondents as contributory to the carrying out and perpetuation of a common design to give unwarranted benefit to the Joint Venture and to cause undue injury to the government, a finding of probable cause for the prosecution of respondents under Section 3(e) of RA 3019 suffices since violation of Section 3 (a) and (g) of RA 3019 are already deemed subsumed therein,' the Ombudsman added. RA 3019 is the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. GMA News Online has reached out to Briones and Lao but they have yet to reply as of posting time. In its annual audit report on the agency for 2021, the Commission on Audit flagged DepEd for purchasing the P2.4 billion worth of laptops through the Procurement Service of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM-PS) when there are cheaper and better options in the market. "Per available documents, the Audit Team could not ascertain the DBM-PS' basis for adopting the unit price of P58,300. Apparently, the supposed number of laptops to be procured of 68,500 units was significantly reduced to 39,583 units which was mainly due to the huge increase of estimated cost P35,046 to P58,300 anchored on the DBM-PS' recommendation, which was duly accepted by the DepEd," COA pointed out. "The price per unit is pricey for an entry-level type of laptop which resulted in significant decrease in the number of units provided to intended users. The huge difference of P23,253 per unit price resulted in a significant decrease by 28,917 laptop computers. Consequently, an estimated 28,917 teachers were deprived of the possible benefits from the supposed provision of these laptops," COA added. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
