Buying a Windows laptop for under £300 usually means there are big sacrifices involved, but that’s not the case this Black Friday.
AO has dropped the price of the budget-friendly Asus VivoBook X415EA to just £269. That’s £110 off the RRP, and the lowest it’s ever been. What’s more, you also get a free subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal (usually £59.99) at no extra cost. That takes total savings to £169.99.

At this price point, most people will be opting for a Chromebook – most Chrome OS devices are better optimised for less powerful hardware. However, not only does the VivoBook X415EA run a full version of Windows 10, it’s eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11.
The hardware under the hood suggests it’ll cope just fine. Intel’s entry-level Pentium Gold processor is designed for everyday tasks such as web browsing, email and watching videos, aided by 4GB of RAM. There’s also a Full HD (1920×1080) display and generous port selection, as well as 128GB of SSD storage – that’s a rarity on laptops at this price point.
Asus is claiming 7 hours of battery life on a single charge, while the premium design gives the impression of a much more expensive device. It’s not the lightest at 1.6kg, but remains relatively portable.
It’s just one of a wide range of laptop deals available this Black Friday. Check out some of the other highlights below:
