Price/spec verdict
£499: what you get for the money
Strong if eligible for the portal price: £499 for a new Core Ultra 5 226V, 16GB/512GB Yoga Slim 7 Aura with OLED is a useful premium-step-up deal, but it is not a normal public Currys price.

Terms that affect the real price
- The £499 price is restricted to eligible HS/BLC/student portal routes and must be confirmed at Currys checkout.
- Direct Currys verification was blocked during this run, so confirm live stock, delivery, warranty and final basket price before buying.
- The screen is described as Full HD+ OLED rather than a higher-resolution 2.8K/3K panel.
Why it works
Reasons it is worth a look
- £499 is strong for a new Yoga Slim 7 Aura Edition with an efficient Core Ultra 5 226V, 16GB RAM and OLED display.
- The 226V platform targets long battery life and Copilot+ features, making it a better premium-study/work spec than many budget 14in laptops.
- At this restricted price it competes well with plainer 16GB/512GB Windows laptops around £500.
