Is this the best-value laptop right now?

Acer Swift 3 Notebook deal

The best value laptop right now. I reckon it might just be the 13.5-inch Acer Swift 3 Notebook, now just $599.99 – a £300 saving on its original price of $899. This is at B&H Photo Video, but you'll need to be quick. The offer ends on Monday (28 February(.

The great thing is that the Acer's Swift 3 already offered great value, with an 11th Gen 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and Intel Iris Xe Graphics. It doesn't offer the highest specs in the world, but it's plenty of power for an everyday laptop for work, blogging and general browsing. What's more, it's light but robust, making it perfect to sling in a bag for use on the go. In fact, this Acer laptop made it into our guides to the best laptops for students and the best laptop for blogging.

See below for more details of this deal, and a comparable offer in the UK too.

If you're in the UK, the best deal we've found doesn't offer quite such a good saving, but under £600 for a 14-inch Acer laptop with 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD is still great value.
