John Lewis have just dropped the price of the lower spec Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14" to £399.99 !
Excellent value and even more so when you consider some existing Chromebook owners will have a Chromebook perk to claim £100 cashback too!

Great to see the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 models down to their previous lowest prices we've seen from Lenovo UK.
Thanks @pqtdc on X for flagging.
BUT...Lenovo aren't participating in the £100 cashback offer. Very are + have 20% off too for low spec (on pre-order), item: 1601202393

The higher spec Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14" is back in stock at Currys in the UK (and they still have the lower spec option too).
Nothing too special on price, unless you're a student and can get the 10% off. Argos offer a £50 e-gift card and CostCo UK are slightly cheaper.

Geekbench 6 scores of the Chromebook and Chromebook Plus I've run it on so far.
The 2025 Acer Chromebook Plus 514 and 516 performing really well, but you can see why the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra powered Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14" is such a jump ahead of everything else right now! 💥

I took the plunge and ordered (another!) 2025 ASUS Chromebook CX14 because I'm really curious to see how the 2023 Intel N50 processor performs in reality.
BTW, I share updates like this early to Channel Members on YouTube + Supporters on Buy Me a Coffee☕️

Lenovo's UK site now for the first time has stock of the lower AND higher spec options of the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14". However, their current prices can be easily beaten right now with stock available at Argos and Costco UK (for the higher spec) + Currys (for the lower spec).
