Adobe Photoshop Elements - Just £20

2010-03-16T14:17:31Z

Adobe's Photoshop software is probably the best-known photo editing software on the market, and the simplified Photoshop Elements edition is well loved by many home PC users. Elements may be far cheaper than its big brother, but at around £50 it's no cheap buy - until today, that is, as we've found copies going for just £20.

First off, a note: this deal is for version 7 of the software, not the latest version 8, and you cannot upgrade for free to the newer edition. If you're happy with using a slightly older version, though, it's a great way to save between £30 and £50. Click the jump for details of where to buy.

It runs Windows XP, includes 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard disk and has an 11.6in display. Best of all, it's selling at a great price: previously £340, we've found it for just £270. Click the jump for details.

Ultra-posh Wireless Keyboard: Under Half Price!

2010-02-25T10:26:42Z

Keyboard and mouse sets come in all shapes and sizes, from the £10 plasticky models included with most computers all the way up to ludicrously expensive models with built-in displays that will set you back £60 or more. Today, though, we've found the best of both worlds: a top of the range desktop set at a bargain price.

This keyboard and mouse set comes from Logitech's premium DiNovo range, and includes a small screen built into the number pad. It's designed for notebook computers, but will of course work perfectly with a desktop - in fact, its smaller design could be handy if desk space is limited. It normally sells for just under £70, but today you can grab one for under half that price - click the jump for details.

1.5TB Samsung Disk - Just £90!

2010-02-24T17:14:33Z

There's a lot to love about Samsung's Story Station range of hard disks, starting of course with the somewhat bizarre name, but today we've found another reason to get one: a really low price. We've found a store selling a 1.5TB version - that's one and a half thousand gigabytes of storage space for your computer - for just £90.

That's enough space to hold almost half a million digital photos, or 180 hours of high definition video, so it'll keep even the biggest collection of digital media together for some time to come. It connects to your computer via a USB cable, so installation is a cinch. Click the jump for details of where to buy.

This 22inch widescreen display from LG has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, so not only do you get loads of room for several programs on screen at once but you can also play 1080P high-definition video.

Acer Laptop - Save £100, Now Under £200!

2010-02-12T12:58:01Z

If you're on the lookout for a low-cost laptop, then this could be just the thing - an Acer Aspire One netbook (one of the more recent models, not the older model often seen selling in refurbished PC stores) for just £199, and with a saving of £100.

The Aspire One 751 uses an Intel Atom Z520 processor with 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard disk. Its 11.6in screen is far bigger than those on most older netbook computers, and it runs Windows XP. The recommended price for this model is £300, but today we've found it for just £199 - that's a healthy third off the price, obviously. Click the jump for details.

32in television and PC - just £209

2010-02-12T12:19:40Z

If you're the kind of person who's comfortable putting a PC together from parts then this is a fantastic deal. If you're not so handy with a screwdriver, though, it's one to avoid.

The product on offer here is a 32in television screen that's built to house a Micro ATX PC - you'll need to add the motherboard, processor and memory into the back yourself. Once this is done, and after adding a copy of Windows, you'll be able to watch television, as well as anything else you could view on a PC - Youtube, downloaded videos, DVDs and so on.

The downside is that, without the PC parts, the screen itself won't do anything at all. But then the price is something of a bargain - just £209. Click the jump for details.

]]> To buy this rather nifty PC product for just £209, click here. Do remember, though, that it's useless without the PC parts required to complete assembly.
