Say it isn't so. Amazon has declared the end of summer with its End of Summer sale. It's putting on one last round of discounts before its major Prime Day sales event, now expected in either September or October this year. No Prime membership is required this week, though. Officially the sale lasts until September 1 but the deals below actually have a variety of expiry dates – from midnight on August 24 to September 9.
It's Prime Day 2023, so we've uncovered the top discounts. Check out the best Prime Day deals in the UK here.

What is it? One of our best 2-in-1 laptops, the Surface Go 2 is an entry-level hybrid for casual use. With this 2020 model, you get a Core M3 processor and a 128GB SSD. It runs Windows S but you can convert to Windows 10 Home if you prefer.
What's the real saving? Officially it's a £93 saving and while you can get a Go 2 for around the same money elsewhere, this is the best price we've seen for this spec. Don't forget you'll need to buy a Type Cover (£99) to get the full 'laptop' experience.
