Lexar Professional NM700 M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 1TB SSD, Gaming, Up To 3500MB/s (LNM700-1TRB) £77.34 at checkout
Good upgrade for anyone with a newer laptop that came with a smaller capacity M.2 drive. Check youtube before buying to check how easy any upgrade is going to be.
If you aren't going to do a fresh install of your OS then you'll also need cloning software and a cheap way of connection an M.2 drive to a USB connector such as
Edit> Wow like the way the link automatically converted to the graphical link - will have to investigate that feature

Re: Computer parts and upgrade Bargains.
I get most of these for hotukdeals and Amazons own Todays Deals link and filtering for computer stuff. If I don't actually buy them myself I go as far as buy now on Amazons checkout to check the price with import duty (IRL VAT) and that they deliver to Ireland. Prices are I use are always in pounds so you'll have to do your own conversion to euros.

Some feedback on the site> The mechanism for creating links from the menu is a bit lacking. Just creating URL tags either side of the highlighted text doesn't really cut it in this day and age. Its easy to rework the url to connect the URL to the text but it should be easier.

Cheapish HDD enclosure use code UGREEN904 to get the reduced price. If code doesn't work sorry your too late they are all for a limited time which could be minutes or days you never know.

A very cheap case...

Might suit a budget build no PSU.

No idea if this is a bargain I'm just going on price, might be OK to make a cheap budget PC or maybe better than that - if you know then say so
Gigabyte A520M DS3H mATX Motherboard for AMD AM4 CPUs £33.83
After a bit of investigation seems thats not a bad deal but to make use of the onboard graphics you need the version of the Rysen chip with built in graphics. Supported CPU's listed here check for ones with GPU support.

Re: Computer parts and upgrade Bargains.
Tell you what is a bargain - cost me zero quid - Lenovo support. My laptop is out of warranty but still Haris somewhere in central Europe spent more than 4.5 hours with me the other day fixing BIOS and serious graphics driver issues, and being a charming lad the whole while. For nothing!! I could not believe the amazing service
Thinking out loud, and trying to be occasionally less wrong...

^^^ Way back when..
I worked in Gateway tech support, I supported a few Windows 3.1 users who called in. Well out of hardware replacement warranty.
But yeah. sounds good. Ironically these days, some main stream computer manufacturers are known for trying their hand at making in warranty computer faults, your fault. Lenovo is good though. IBM regret spinning off their laptop division to them.

Kingston DataTraveler 70 - DT70/32GB USB-C Flash Drive Black £2.79
I wouldn't normally post such a small capacity stick but they are ideal for installing an OS (like Windows 10 or Linux) where you don't need anything bigger than 8GB - why delete everything on a larger capacity drive just to do an installation when you can get a suitable flash drive for around €3.50
