While the Easter bank holiday weekend is sadly behind us, the spring sales are still up and running with huge deals on laptops, headphones and TVs. Discounted laptops can be hard to come by when it's not a major sales season but the Currys Spring sale has tons of offers on computing equipment from Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft.

Right now, one of the best laptop deals we’ve found from the spring sales is on the Acer Aspire 5. Originally priced at £599, the Acer Aspire 5 is now just £399, taking this powerful PC down to its lowest ever price.
