HP Pavilion Laptop - 15z-eh000

First up is one of HP's most popular laptops, an excellent device whether it's for study or home working. A 15.6-inch display makes for really easy multitasking and clarity, while a 128GB SSD means that everything flows really quickly and reliably. 

You also get a powerful AMD processor and on-board graphics, meaning that you can play some games in your time off if you like, and it's great for watching movies and TV on, too, thanks to that expansive screen. You can even choose to get it with a touch-screen, too, in case you want some more ways to control your device. Right now, you can pick it up from $449.99, a $150 saving thanks to Green Monday.

HP ProDesk 400 G5

If you want something a little more desktop-bound, and already have a laptop, for example, a mini PC could be the perfect solution - especially since it hardly takes up any space at all, so doesn't need a large under-desk allotment. The ProDesk 400 G5 is a powerful little bundle that'll power your productivity impressively. 

With a chunky 500GB hard drive, and a solid Intel processor to power everything, it's a tiny box that's more than enough for almost anyone's working day, and is small enough that it won't be noticed. Best of all, it's down by a huge $424, fully 50% off, to start from $424.

HP Pavilion 27q Monitor

To go with any computer, though, whether it's a laptop to be hooked up for more real estate, or a desktop without a display, you'll want your own monitor. It makes home working so much easier, we can't believe that everyone hasn't picked one up if they can. 

This brilliant 27-inch HP monitor is the perfect solution, giving you loads of space with a modern, attractive design and almost no bezels to speak of at all. It's got pin-sharp QHD resolution for you to enjoy and great colour accuracy if you work with images or video. Plus, for Green Monday it's down to just $259.99 from $329.99, making this a great time to pick it up.
