Computer and laptop deals
We use computers and laptops almost every day - for keeping in touch with friends, doing our 9 to 5 and shopping online - so it goes without saying that getting a great deal is essential. High street favourites like Currys PC World and John Lewis are great starting places to find all the top tech names in one handy place. And with both retailers offering weekly deals and price promises you can guarantee top brand tech at fabulous prices.
If you’ve already done your research and know what brand you want to go with, it pays to look on their direct website to make sure you’re not missing out on any great perks or discounts. For example, Dell, Asus, HP, Lenovo and Acer are all huge laptop manufacturers with lots of money saving offers available online. Going direct can be cheaper - just make sure you do your homework to find the best deal.
TV, speaker and headphone deals
Want to upgrade your television, speakers or headphones? Finding a fantastic saving isn’t as hard as you might think, especially when you shop at places like ao.com, Argos and PRC Direct. All of these tech superstores promise great prices for the biggest electronics names.
For top quality speakers and headphones, check out Bose, Sennheiser or JBL for guaranteed value every time. Whether you want an affordable portable speaker, a state-of-the-art surround sound system or some noise-cancelling headphones for your commute, these top brands have you covered. When it comes to TVs, finding the right size and brand is crucial depending on the room and what you’ll use it for. Retailers like Appliances Direct have heaps of vouchers and discounts on top TV and appliance names so you can kit your house out for less.
Phones and tablet deals
Serial scrollers, on-the-go shoppers and late night texters know how important it is to get a great deal on phone contracts, smartphones, tablets and SIM cards. Take the stress out of finding a good value phone deal and let the teams at Carphone Warehouse and Mobile Phones Direct do the hard work for you.
Online tech stores like eBuyer are usually home to huge savings across SIM-only and pay monthly packages. On the other hand, buying the handset outright can mean a bigger upfront payment but better value overall - whether you’re team iPhone, Huawei or Samsung - so go direct to the brand to check offers first. Want to go second-hand? Good choice! Check out Music Magpie and CeX for stacks of refurbished tech for a fraction of the cost.
Streaming and satellite deals
Nowadays there’s so much choice when it comes to streaming our favourite series and films. From Amazon Prime to Now TV, we have hundreds of boxsets, blockbuster films and classic titles at our fingertips whenever, wherever. For online streaming providers, signing up for a yearly subscription is better value than monthly, so it’s worth bearing this in mind before signing up.
If you prefer the more traditional satellite television providers like Sky and Virgin Media, there are still plenty of ways to get a great deal on your package. Haggling on the phone and only choosing the channels you actually need are two super easy ways to cut costs and get your TV boxset fix for less.
Photography and printing deals
Keen photographers and print fanatics listen up. For those that love taking snaps and capturing memories for years to come, you can’t go wrong with a trusty Polaroid - the name that paved the way for modern photography. Stores like Jessops and Currys PC World are your go-to for top brand cameras at low prices - whether that’s a state-of-the-art DSLR, a mid-range bridge or the latest lens to take your snaps to the next level.
Time to print your photos off? There are so many budget options available from Printed.com to Instantprint, Snapfish to Photobox. When it comes to printing pictures and getting photos developed, look out for welcome offers like free prints and huge percentage discounts. With so many ways to save money on photography and printing, grow your collection of photo memories for less.
Web hosting and software deals
Getting online in this day and age is key if you’re a business owner or want to set up your own little corner of the internet. Web hosting aficionados like GoDaddy and Fasthosts can get you set up and running with your very own professional site in next to no time, and with so many limited-time deals and welcome offers it’s probably cheaper than you think. Look for a package that included expert help so you won’t have to fork out if something goes wrong down the line.
It’s one thing getting online, but making sure you’re staying safe and protected while online is even more important. Keep your devices and online presence safe with antivirus and malware protection from Kaspersky, Norton or NordVPN. By investing in good antivirus software you can get online in confidence and be protected from potential cyber attacks or viruses.
