£90.20
Intel Core i5-10210U · 8GB DDR4 · 256GB SSD · 14in 1920x1080 at 60Hz
Strong functional value below £100: the Core i5, SSD, Full HD screen and light business chassis make this far more useful than a weak new budget laptop, provided the heavy cosmetic wear, short warranty and unknown battery health are acceptable.

Retailer page price before checkout reduction: £499.98
AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS · 16GB DDR5 RAM · 512GB SSD · 15.6in 1920x1080 IPS, 60Hz, 45% NTSC
Very strong if Costco applies the checkout reduction: £419.98 for a new Ryzen 7 8840HS, 16GB/512GB laptop with 2-year warranty is excellent CPU value, but buyers must confirm the lower basket price because the product page itself showed £499.98.

£452.40
Intel Core Ultra 5 225U · 16GB RAM · 512GB SSD · 14in 1920x1200 OLED
Good refurb value at £452.40: this is still a low price for a recent 14-inch OLED HP with 16GB RAM, a 512GB SSD and a one-year guarantee, but condition and accessory contents matter more than on a new laptop.

£119.95
Intel Core i5-1135G7 · 8GB DDR4 · 256GB SSD claimed; one field says 240GB · 14in 1920x1080 at 60Hz
Good functional value around £120: the 11th-gen Core i5, Full HD screen, upgradeable memory and useful business ports make this more capable than most ultra-budget new laptops, provided the visible wear and uncertain battery, charger and exact SSD capacity are acceptable.

£499.99
Intel Core i5-13420H · 16GB DDR5-5600 · 1TB SSD · 16in 1920x1200 IPS, 300 nits
Good current value for mainstream work and study: the H-series Core i5, upgradeable 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD are strong at this price, provided the basic screen and warranty-date check are acceptable.
