Virgin Megastore’s Megascore Festive Edition is live in the UAE with chunky cuts across tech and gaming. Discounts range from 30% to 70%, and the event is flagged as online-exclusive.

If you’re shopping for a serious laptop, a fast gaming display, or just want the best value right now, these are the standouts we found and why they’re worth it. 

What is Megascore Festive Edition?

Virgin’s seasonal sale hub that bundles limited-time offers across categories, all in one place. It’s running now in the UAE with clear 30/50/60/70% banners and a rolling “Last Chance Deals” section.

  • Online-exclusive event page for the UAE
  • Clear discount tiers from 30% up to 70%
  • Central hub to browse all live offers

It’s the page to keep open in a tab while you shop. Use it to hop between laptops, gaming, audio and accessories without chasing links.

Best laptop deals right now (UAE pricing)

Serious hardware with meaningful savings, not just old stock.

  • HP OMEN Gaming Laptop (Core i9-14900HX, RTX 4080, 32GB/2TB, 16.1-inch 165Hz) — AED 8,329 (was AED 11,899), about 30% off. 
  • Lenovo Legion 9 16IRX9 (Core i9-14900HX, RTX 4090, 64GB/2TB, 16-inch 3.2K 165Hz) — AED 15,399 (was AED 21,999), about 30% off.

Fast-refresh monitor pick

High frame rates without silly pricing.

A 280 Hz panel at this price is easy to recommend if you play esports titles. Prefer portable screens? See our hands-on with the Espresso 15 Pro 4K portable for context on image quality and use cases.

Beyond laptops: smart buys to round out your setup

Bestsellers move quickly, but you can still find strong value outside the headline items.

Use these as fillers to improve your workspace or as gifts without bloating your cart.

How to shop Megascore smarter in the UAE

A few quick tactics so you don’t overpay.

  • Start at the UAE Megascore hub and filter by category; reload often as stock shifts. 
  • Check “Last Chance Deals” on the homepage for extra price drops that don’t always show in category lists. 
  • Compare against your needs: creators might care more about colour-accurate displays; gamers about refresh rates and GPU headroom. For reference, see our piece on creator-grade BenQ monitors. 
  • Know the return/warranty basics: buying local simplifies exchanges and warranty claims.
