Drops and rises compare each listing's price now with its highest (or lowest) price in the 7 days before, from our own hourly price history: a price is stored only when it changes, and tracking started 16 Oct 2026. Latest history snapshot: 17 Oct, 16:00 BST. "Lowest we've seen" means the lowest since tracking began, after at least one higher price. Raw data: gpu.json · laptop.json · ram.json · ssd.json · cpu.json.

When prices were checked

Every price on SpecPrice carries the time it was checked. Shops are checked about hourly; an older "latest check" means that shop's listings weren't refreshed in the most recent runs.
