Apple MacBook Air 13-inch | M4 / 16GB / 256GB SSD
Save 18% (AU$300)
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch | M4 / 16GB / 256GB SSD: was AU$1,699 now AU$1,399 at JB Hi-Fi

The MacBook Air M4 is often on sale, so while this discount isn't unusual, it's not far off as good as it gets for an Apple product. Want to know more about the laptop? Take a look at our MacBook Air 13-inch M4 review for the full insight. As a comparison, the M4 Air is AU$1,699 from Apple.

Lenovo ThinkBook G8 14-inch | Core 7 240H / 32GB / 512GB SSD
Save 16% (AU$250)
Lenovo ThinkBook G8 14-inch | Core 7 240H / 32GB / 512GB SSD: was AU$1,549 now AU$1,299 at Amazon

This is a cracker of a deal, considering the ThinkBook G8 was AU$1,749 not long ago. Especially since you get the powerful new Series 2 Intel Core 7 240H CPU, 32GB of RAM and a fast NVMe 512GB SSD. The only downside is the display, with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and 45% NTSC colour. But if you are connecting it to an external display (or three) via HDMI or Thunderbolt 4, then you won't care.

Alienware  16X Aurora | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 / 32GB / 2TB SSD
Save 36% (AU$1,502.83)
Alienware 16X Aurora | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 / 32GB / 2TB SSD: was AU$4,198.70 now AU$2,695.87 at Dell

This mighty gaming laptop was an unrealistic AU$4,198.70 back in June, but it has now dropped to AU$3,098.70. Then use the coupon code FUTURE13% at checkout to bring the price down to AU$2,695.87. That's pretty great for an RTX 5070 machine with an Ultra 9 CPU, 32GB of RAM and a large 16-inch 2560 x 1600 240Hz display.
