Do you kick off your day bashing out emails over coffee? How about your afternoons? Wading through pre-sheets and client decks? And when it's time to clock off, do you unwind by editing your snaps, with some gaming and streaming thrown in for good measure? Sorry to bombard you with questions. If that all sounds remotely familiar, you need a machine that doesn't force you to choose between power, flexibility, and stamina. You need a laptop that's built to handle work, creativity, and play – sometimes all at once. Enter Curry's. It's stocking a new generation of Copilot+ PCs – ultra-capable Windows 11 laptops powered by Intel Core® Ultra™ processors – that are built to confidently handle whatever you care to throw at them. Whether you're plugging in for a full day of deep work, sketching out ideas on a touchscreen, or propped on the sofa with a film and your second packet of chocolate Hobnobs (no judgement here), these machines are made to keep up. With that in mind, we've rounded up some of the best laptops that deliver on all fronts – and you'll find them all now at Currys. ASUS Zenbook S 14: built for balance Light enough to carry all day, and powerful enough to handle practically anything, the Zenbook S 14 is a brilliantly balanced machine for people who jump between tasks and tools without missing a beat. At just 1.2 kg and a staggering 1.1 cm thin, it's a veritable featherweight. And yet, beneath its sleek chassis beats the power of an Intel Core® Ultra™ 7 processor with integrated Intel® Arc™ graphics, 32 GB of RAM, and a generous 1 TB SSD. A Tetris-worthy marvel. It's the screen that makes it a creative standout, though. The 14in 3K OLED panel is sharp, bright, and calibrated for colour accuracy – making it ideal for photographers, designers, or anyone who likes their Netflix served with richer blacks and punchy colours. The 120 Hz refresh rate brings silky-smooth scrolling and gaming prowess, while the touchscreen lets you swipe, tap, and zoom through projects with pinpoint precision. And if your workday involves bouncing between browser tabs, image edits, and presentations, this is the laptop that makes it all feel effortless. With up to 12 hours of battery life per charge, it'll stay with you through early starts and late finishes without biting the dust. How's that for peace of mind? MSI Prestige 13 AI+ Evo: creative power in your palm The MSI Prestige 13 AI+ Evo is what happens when you pump all your stats into performance and portability.

And with a full-HD webcam, three-mic array, and AI-powered noise cancellation, it's equally well-equipped for video calls – even if you're working from a busy café. Best of all, the battery just keeps going. You can get up to 24 hours of runtime from a single charge – long enough to work, play, and maybe even squeeze in a comforting episode or two of Friends before bed.

It's powered by an Intel Core® Ultra™5 processor and backed by Intel® Arc™ graphics and 16 GB of RAM, so whether you're editing photos, building decks, or playing the odd indie game, it can take the strain. You get a spacious 512 GB SSD too, with fast boot and load times for all your apps and files. The star of the show here though, is the screen. A Full HD+ OLED panel delivers inky blacks and bold contrast, and the 16:10 aspect ratio means more vertical space for working and browsing. It's slim, light, and stylish enough to carry into meetings or lectures, and quiet enough to double as a late-night binge-watching machine. You'll get up to 16 hours of battery life on a charge as well, so it won't run out of steam halfway through any major plot twists. All in all, a proper do-it-all machine that won't break your back – or your budget. Lenovo Yoga Slim 9: a premium experience, front to back The Lenovo Yoga Slim 9 isn't just a laptop. It's a statement. With a sculpted glass finish, an almost bezel-free 14in display, and camera hidden beneath the screen(!), it's an ultra-sleek creative powerhouse with zero compromise on performance.

Its PureSight Pro OLED screen is a formidable sight to behold too – a 4K resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and DisplayHDR True Black 600 certification all combine to deliver exceptional detail and contrast. In short, if you're juggling spreadsheets in the morning, sketching ideas after lunch, and watching films at night, this is a screen that's more than ready to bring it all to life. Its touchscreen interface responds quickly and accurately as well, with enough clarity and fluidity to support stylus input for note-taking or digital doodling. And, despite all that power, it weighs just 1.2 kg – so you can take it anywhere (and look the business in the process). One device. Endless possibilities. Work, create, or play, these Intel Core® Ultra™ processors – powered Copilot+ PCs are built to support you through it all. They're light enough to follow you anywhere, smart enough to adapt to the task at hand, and powerful enough to do it all without breaking a sweat. Whether you're deep into a creative project, breezing through admin, hopping on a call, or just kicking back with a film or game, these laptops are ready to keep up. If that sounds good, then you'll find them all now at Currys. And if you're lucky, a few might even be available at a discount. Enjoy!

Scandal hits biscuit museum as McVitie's say they must 'draw the line'
The humble Jaffa Cake has caused chaos at a lesser-known London museum after a well-intentioned tribute to the treat took a sticky turn. Peek Freans Biscuit Museum in Bermondsey, London, opened a new exhibition on June 30, celebrating McVitie's Jaffa Cake, only to be met with a cease-and-desist-style letter. The problem? Jaffa Cakes, despite residing in the biscuit aisle, are famously not biscuits. It's no laughing matter, as McVitie's has fought long and hard to cement the cake status of its chocolate orange treat, which is nearly 100 years old, and was quick to correct the museum's frankly preposterous categorisation of it as anything else. The confectionery giant warned that the inclusion of Jaffa Cakes in a biscuit exhibition was factually incorrect and sent the museum a letter to set the record straight. 'Dear Sirs, Madams, and Biscuit Enthusiasts,' the letter begins. 'It has come to our attention, with no small degree of dismay, that the Biscuit Museum has included the humble Jaffa Cake within its exhibition of Biscuitry. 'We write to you today, not with crumbs of animosity, but with a full slice of firm objection. 'Allow us to be clear: Jaffa Cakes are, in fact, cakes. Not biscuits. Not hybrid snacks. Some would say the clue is in the name on the box.' In a follow-up statement, a spokesperson for McVitie's said: 'Look, we love a good biscuit as much as the next snack enthusiast, but we've got to draw the line somewhere, and that line is sponge-based. 'We respect the Biscuit's Museum's enthusiasm, but a cake's a cake, even when it's small, round and lives suspiciously close to Hobnobs. It's nothing personal, it's just the way the cake crumbles.' If the Biscuit Museum had done its research, it would have discovered that this isn't the first time Jaffa Cakes have been at the centre of a full-blown identity crisis. In 1991, McVitie's won a UK VAT tribunal, which decided the treat was in fact a cake – a distinction that made it exempt from VAT, unlike its biscuit relatives. McVitie's brought forward strong arguments, including the product's name (they are called Jaffa CAKES after all), their composition and texture ('the same as a traditional sponge cake') and the fact they go hard 'like a cake' when they go stale, rather than 'soft like a biscuit'. HMRC settled the matter and decided the treat had enough characteristics of cakes to be accepted as such. Queen of cakes Mary Berry – perhaps the best deciding authority – affirmed Jaffa Cakes' status as a cake in a 2016 episode of the Great British Bake Off, where she 'silenced' biscuit apologist. Despite the court ruling, the 'is it a cake or a biscuit?' debate continues to divide households, office staffrooms, and social media feeds. More Trending Some convincing arguments from the opposition are that they are marketed and packaged like biscuits and, most importantly, found in the biscuit aisle. 'If Jaffa Cakes are cakes, where do you put the candles?', plenty of others have pondered. Staff at the museum were left with no choice but to remove the exhibition. However, its curator, Gary Magold, hopes a compromise can be made. View More » 'It's a shame we've had to remove the exhibition for the moment,' he said. 'But, as a nation of Jaffa Cake lovers, we're hoping to reach an agreement.' Do you have a story to share?
