I'm sure that these are the sort of things that are bought for one
purpose but actually end up being used for dozens of things and I'm
sure I'll find loads of uses for it, but my main use at the moment
would be to monitor temperatures of GPUs and CPUs on laptop
motherboards.

I live about a mile away from CPC in Preston and have seen this one
for £43 inc VAT:

Anyone have experience of them? Good? Bad? Anything better for
absolutely no more than £60, but preferably £50 or less?

Best cat toy you will ever buy:-)

If you are not in a rush to buy one Maplins often do half price sales on
them. Paid about £20 for mine.

Good call, I think my little one may have come from there. Maplins have
a load of stuff on offer at the moment anyway. But you probably *do*
want one with a laser to check CPUs.

I'm sure mine was from Maplin when on special, was def under 20quid
_and_ has a laser. Haven't seen them at those prices (either at Maplin
or CPC) for ages though.
