The Currys Boxing Day sale is rightly famous for TVs — but the laptop section is the second strongest category in the event and the one that draws the widest spread of buyers. Windows laptops, MacBooks, Chromebooks, and gaming machines all appear with meaningful discounts, and Currys’ physical breadth means you can browse and buy with next-day delivery or same-day click-and-collect. This page is the Currys-specific laptop cut: which machine types discount deepest, how delivery and finance shape the buy, and how Currys compares with John Lewis, Argos, Amazon, and Very for the same configurations.

Why Currys is the strongest UK electricals retailer for Boxing Day laptops

Currys is the widest-ranging physical electricals retailer in the UK. That breadth matters for laptops in a specific way: you can see the keyboard, screen, and build quality before committing, and finance and click-and-collect options are available across the entire range. At Boxing Day, the laptop discounts at Currys are driven by the same product-cycle logic as TVs — new configurations launch at CES in January and at the major laptop OEM events through February. December is when the outgoing configurations are cleared. Gaming laptops follow this pattern most closely: GPU generation refreshes in spring push the previous generation’s pricing down through December, and Boxing Day is when those machines hit their seasonal floor.

What to target in 2026

Gaming laptops — the strongest category. RTX 4060 and 4070-tier gaming laptops from ASUS ROG, Lenovo Legion, Razer, and MSI see their sharpest clearance cuts here. If you have been tracking a gaming laptop through the autumn, Currys’ Boxing Day sale is the right moment to act. Mid-tier machines at these GPU specs typically reach their late-season price floor in the Boxing Day window. Based on previous years, expect 20–30% off on configurations from the current year.

Windows laptops, mid-range. Dell XPS, HP Spectre x360, and Samsung Galaxy Book configurations in the £800–£1,200 range see 20–30% reductions on outgoing models. The 2-in-1 category — HP Spectre and Samsung Galaxy Book — is consistently represented. If you want a premium Windows laptop for creative work or business travel, the Boxing Day window is a reliable moment.

MacBooks. Apple does not discount directly, but Currys occasionally offers modest retailer-led cuts of 10–15% on MacBook Air M3 and MacBook Pro M3. For MacBook pricing, compare Currys and Amazon directly before committing — Amazon frequently leads by £30–£70 on equivalent configurations. Currys wins on finance and the option to add a Care plan, which Apple does not offer through its own channels.

Chromebooks and budget Windows. Acer Aspire, HP Pavilion, and Chromebook Plus devices below £400 see consistent 20–25% clearance cuts. For students and light-use buyers, these represent some of the most straightforward Boxing Day buys in the category — stock holds longer, the urgency is lower, and the absolute saving is proportionally significant at these price points.

What to skip at Currys. Premium gaming desktops and high-end workstations. These categories see limited Boxing Day movement at Currys — the market is niche enough that stock pressure is low. For workstation buyers, the Lenovo direct site tends to offer better direct-clearance pricing year-round.

Delivery, click-and-collect, and finance

Currys offers next-day delivery on most laptops over the Boxing Day period. Boxing Day itself and the 27th run with reduced logistics capacity — a delivery ordered on Boxing Day morning may arrive on the 29th or 30th depending on the model and warehouse location. Named-day delivery slots are available for an additional fee and are worth taking if a specific date matters.

Click-and-collect shows live branch stock before you pay. Unlike large TVs, laptops are practical for collection at most Currys store formats including smaller branches. If stock is confirmed at your local store, collecting the same day removes the delivery uncertainty entirely and lets you inspect the machine before leaving.

Currys regularly runs 0% interest-free finance on purchases above £500 at Boxing Day. Term length is typically 12–36 months, subject to credit approval and the terms shown at checkout. Finance applies to sale-price and full-price items alike.

Price-match and Care plans

Currys’ price-match applies during the Boxing Day sale: find the same model cheaper at a major UK competitor within 7 days and they refund the difference. This reduces the urgency to buy at exactly the right moment — you have a window, which is useful when stock pressure on laptops is lower than on TVs.

Care & Repair plans on laptops cover accidental damage and mechanical failure beyond the standard manufacturer warranty. The calculus depends on the machine’s price and your usage pattern. On premium business or creative laptops in the £1,000–£1,500 range, accidental damage cover is the part most buyers actually use — dropping a premium ultrabook is an expensive outcome without it. Read the plan terms carefully before checkout.

How Currys compares with other Boxing Day laptop retailers

John Lewis — the guarantee argument. John Lewis includes a two-year guarantee as standard on most laptops. On equivalent configurations, the headline price is typically within £20–£50 of Currys at Boxing Day, and the included two-year warranty often closes or wins that gap compared with Currys’ standard one-year coverage plus a paid Care plan. For premium laptops where the long-term investment justifies the warranty consideration, John Lewis deserves a direct comparison before committing at Currys.

Amazon — usually strongest on MacBooks. Amazon leads on MacBook pricing at Boxing Day, typically undercutting Currys by £30–£70 on the same M3 Air configuration. Budget Chromebooks and sub-£400 Windows laptops are also consistently competitive on Amazon. Currys wins on physical availability, finance options, and same-day click-and-collect for anything above £500.

Argos — budget only. Argos’ laptop selection is narrower than Currys, concentrated at under £400. For Chromebooks and entry-level Windows machines, Argos is worth checking as a price comparison; above that price point, Currys has the deeper range.

Very — finance-led. Very’s Boxing Day laptop prices are rarely the sharpest on headline value, but flexible buy-now-pay-later options make premium configurations more accessible for buyers with specific monthly budgets. Worth including in the comparison if spreading the cost is a priority.

The single-sentence summary

Currys is the default starting point for gaming laptops and mid-range Windows configurations at Boxing Day. The physical breadth, finance options, and price-match promise make it the right first call. Check Amazon for MacBooks, and compare Very if monthly payments are your main constraint.
