A ridiculously cheap Windows laptop for Black Friday? Don't mind if I do...
Not quite as stellar a discount as the IdeaPad 1i above, but this IdeaPad 1 is essentially identical in everything but appearance – the chassis is subtly different, but the internal components are the same. It's also still one of the cheapest Windows laptops on sale in the UK this Black Friday, so don't dawdle – it could be gone soon!One thing to bear in mind if you pick up either of these budget IdeaPad laptops is that they come with Windows preinstalled in 'S mode'.
'S mode' is short for 'security mode', and is essentially a locked version of Windows that only allows you to download software directly from the Microsoft Store. This won't be an issue for many users, since the MS Store has improved massively in recent years when it comes to the software it offers. If you do want to install different third-party software, there's an easy fix: the MS Store features a page where you can permanently disable S mode, returning to the regular version of Windows 11 Home. So don't let that pesky S stop you from grabbing this bargain!
