Best New Zealand tech deals: top online discounts in April 2024

NutriBullet Pro+ 1200 (N12-1007) | NZ$215.85 NZ$157.95 on Amazon AU (save AU$57.90)

Nutribullet's most powerful personal blender, this bundle comes with two large 900ml cups, perfect for making big batches of smoothies, bowls, dips, sauces and, if you're looking for something a bit naughtier, milkshakes. Where the 1200W model shines, though, is its ability to power through tougher ingredients like roots, seeds, kale and more. Our Nutribullet Pro 900 review was overwhelmingly positive – this more powerful model can only be better.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 | NZ$3,778.34 NZ$2,398.61 at Lenovo (save NZ$1,379.73)

If you're in the market for a work-based laptop with enough power for a bit of pleasure, then this is the deal for you. In our list of the best Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, the ThinkPad Carbon X1 excels as a business laptop, but don't rule it out if you have more than work on your mind. In addition to a clean design, excellent performance, power and battery life, the ThinkPad X1 is also capable of photo editing, streaming movies, and even light gaming. We did note a lack of 4K resolution in our Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 Business Laptop review, but elsewhere it ticks all the boxes.

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar | NZ$1,085.97 NZ$851.14 on Amazon AU (save NZ$234.83)

Looking for a smartwatch and fitness tracker that will hardly ever run out of battery? Look no further. We said in our five star Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review it was “among the best we’ve ever tried,” and for good reason. It’s simple to use, can track virtually any metric you can think of and lasts for up to 15 days on a single charge. If you want classic Garmin looks with a raft of nifty features in a more affordable package, the Forerunner 255S Music may be more to your liking, and it’s also discounted.

Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga | NZ$2,619 NZ$1,925.19 at Lenovo (save NZ$693.81)

Can't decide whether you want the functionality of a laptop or the portability of a tablet? You don't have to with the ThinkPad L13 Yoga. The best 2-in-1 offering from Lenovo's ThinkPad range, this laptop is the perfect pick-up for professionals or students looking for the best of both worlds. Easily switching between modes, with an included stylus and impressive battery life, if writing an essay or making a spreadsheet on a laptop one moment and scribbling notes on a tablet the next excites you, this might be for you.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones | NZ$598 NZ$458 at PB Tech (save NZ$140)

You won't find these headphones discounted by more than 20% very often, because they're well worth it at full price. So this deal on the Sony XM5's is big. Comfortably claiming a spot on our list of the best headphones in Australia, where these headphones excel is through their active noise-cancellation. Earning 5 stars in our Sony WH-1000XM5 review, the only thing stopping from being the only recommendable pair is their price and the strength of their predecessor, the Sony WH-1000XM4. If you can swing it, we highly recommend them.

Miele Triflex HX1 Cat&Dog stick vacuum | NZ$1,085.87 NZ$542.39 on Amazon AU (save NZ$543.48)

One of the best cordless vacuums on the market right now, the Miele Triflex HX1 is an incredible deal at this price. While we chose the Cat and Dog version, which specialises in picking up hair from carpet and perfect for pet owners, the regular HX1 is also on sale, discounted to NZ$417.14 – which is the same vacuum with different attachments. Rating as the best mid-tier stick vacuum in our list of 2024's best stick vacuums, the Miele Triflex is about as good a handstick as you can get without spending upwards of NZ$1,000.

Garmin Forerunner 745 | NZ$977.17 NZ$542.39 on Amazon AU (save NZ$415.17)

While Amazon Australia is running a few different Garmin deals at the moment, which are worth checking out, we couldn't look past this giant price cut on the Forerunner 745. While it might be an older model from 2020, the 745 is still an excellent multisports tracker even if it doesn't quite match up with the latest and greatest. Available for just over NZ$520, this is quite the deal even if it doesn't quite hit its all-time lowest price. If you're looking to elevate your training and don't want to spend a premium, this is the deal for you.

Secretlab TITAN Evo XL | NZ$1149 NZ$879 from Secretlab (save NZ$270)

It just looks comfortable, doesn't it? Well, having got our hands on the Titan Evo back in June of 2022, we can confirm it's as comfy as it looks. While we called it one of the best gaming chairs on the market, which it undoubtedly is, the Titan Evo isn't gaming-exclusive. With an exceptionally customisable lumbar support, recline and tilt adjustability, and an included neck pillow, we can't find too much fault at this price. If you need a chair for long gaming or working sessions, this could be it.

HP Victus 15 (15-fa0203TX) | NZ$2,499 NZ$1,297 on HP (save NZ$1,202)

This gaming laptop comes equipped with a 12th-gen Intel i5 processor and an RTX 3050 graphics card, which would be good for entry-level gaming at 1080p. The 15-inch screen has a high refresh rate at 144Hz, though we wish the screen was brighter than 250 nits. We like the port selection on this laptop too, with two USB-A ports, a USB-C and a HDMI slot.
