Odd Chromebook offer from John Lewis. 20% off the Lenovo USI Pen 2 Magnetic when you buy a Lenovo Chromebook. Seems to apply to all Lenovo Chromebooks (many non-touch, let alone support a pen!) as well as the listing for the Duet that comes bundled with that pen anyway!

The price of this new Lenovo 2-in-1 Chromebook Plus has just been reduced down to £329 at Very in the UK (item 1601238140).
A great deal and even better if you're in a position to claim £100 cashback from Google with their recent Chromebook Perks promotion that I've covered.

John Lewis have just dropped the price of the lower spec Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14" to £399.99 !
Excellent value and even more so when you consider some existing Chromebook owners will have a Chromebook perk to claim £100 cashback too!

The higher spec Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14" is back in stock at Currys in the UK (and they still have the lower spec option too).
Nothing too special on price, unless you're a student and can get the 10% off. Argos offer a £50 e-gift card and CostCo UK are slightly cheaper.

The 2025 Acer Chromebook Plus 514 and 516 performing really well, but you can see why the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra powered Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14" is such a jump ahead of everything else right now! 💥
