If you know that you or someone else is looking for some PC upgrades, a new monitor, or even a new laptop, then CCL Computers is usually a good place to check out thanks to their wide range of products. Now ahead of Christmas CCL has some extra special Christmas deals on their site which make it even easier for you to find a tech gift for someone.

ASUS's Zephyrus line of laptops are some of the most impressive gaming laptops around, thanks to their lightweight, robust, and sleek form factors that also pack some serious hardware inside.
