The best deals on everyday laptops
TechRadar’s recommended laptop for most people in 2025 is a Windows device once again, thanks to Microsoft going with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus and X Elite ARM CPUs to match the performance and efficiency found in Apple Silicon-powered MacBooks. The Surface Laptop 7 line also features high-DPI IPS displays with touchscreens, featuring 400-nit brightness and excellent colour reproduction. While ARM laptops aren’t best for those with very specific software requirements due to (now rare) potential compatibility issues, I reckon this is a solid discount.
The Snapdragon X Elite variant is also on sale from AU$1,799, and the 15-inch starts at AU$1,898.
Need a slim but still powerful laptop? The Yoga Slim 7i Aura features the new Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, a compact 14-inch 2800 x 1800 OLED display, plus premium features like a facial recognition webcam and Wi-Fi 7. Want to know more? Check out our Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura review.
Need a slim but still reasonably powerful laptop? The Yoga Slim 7i Aura features the new Series 2 Intel Core Ultra5 226V CPU, a compact 14-inch 1920 x 1200 OLED display, plus premium features like a facial recognition webcam and Wi-Fi 7. Want to know more? Check out our Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura review.
This versatile 2-in-1 features the latest Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor backed up by 32GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD. The 16-inch (2880 x 1800) 120Hz OLED touchscreen display folds back through 360 degrees and works with the Lenovo pen (not included) for writing and drawing. You also get extras like an IR facial recognition webcam, dual Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and a decently large 70Wh battery. That's a lot of laptop for the money!
This Snapdragon-powered laptop has an impressive spec for the price, with an X Elite X1E78100 CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. It also has a very nice 2944 x 1840 OLED touchscreen display that outputs 100% of the sRGB gamut. We have seen this machine slightly cheaper, but it's still a solid deal at this price.
This tiny saving on this MacBook Pro is currently the best deal going on the base model, which shows how little the laptop gets in the way of discounts.
The variant with a M4 Pro CPU and 24GB RAM costs AU$3,299 from Apple, but you can grab it for slightly less from Amazon at AU$3,127.
Gaming laptop deals
In the wake of Boxing Day and New Year sales, we aren't seeing any good gaming laptop deals right now. But stay tuned, as we will be adding any new discounts as soon as possible.
The Victus 15 with RTX 4050 is often sold around the AU$1,500 mark (and the Ryzen 7 variant is AU$1,699 from HP), but the Intel i5 model is now discounted on the HP eBay store to AU$1,399. Then, using code HPJAN26, you get an extra 20% off, bringing the price down to an excellent AU$1,119.20. It was AU$999.20 during Black Friday, but this is the lowest I have seen since and the same as during Boxing Day. And overall it's a solid deal for a Core i5 RTX 4050 machine, as it's more than capable of decent frame rates on the 15-inch, 1080p, 144Hz screen.
The HP Victus 15 with an RTX 5060 recently got a discount from the rather aspirational AU$2,799 list price, down to a still not great AU$2,199 on the HP Official eBay store (and the same AU$2,199 direct from HP). But now you can save an extra 20% off with code HPJAN26, bringing it down to AU$1,759.20. And that’s about AU$60 more than Black Friday, it's still pretty competitive with other RTX 5060 gaming laptop deals right now – especially since the Victus has 24GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and a 1080p, 144Hz display. Note that it is running an 80W TGP (vs 100W, making it 10-15% slower), but that’s normal at this price.
You can also grab the RTX 5050 variant for AU$1,499.20 with the same code.
The Pro model of one of our favourite Lenovo laptops has a decent discount on the RTX 5070 variant, though it is AU$200 more than on Black Friday. Sure, the web price before discount is beyond steep, but on sale it's excellent value for a premium gaming machine with an OLED, 2560 x 1600, 165Hz display.
For those who want mighty gaming power, the Legion Pro 7i with an Intel Ultra 9 275HX processor and an RTX 5090 GPU is one of the better options going, even though it's AU$100 more than the Black Friday discount. There are almost no other comparable machines at this price, making it an excellent deal if you are willing to spend big. Read our review to learn more.

This week’s best storewide laptop sales
Amazon: regular discounts on Chromebooks, plus best MacBook prices
Amazon has a regularly updated selection of laptop deals. It’s often the best place to go for cheap Chromebooks and mid-range devices, so worth a look if your budget is under AU$1,000. For those after a more premium device, Amazon often has the best prices available on Apple MacBooks, sometimes offering 10% off or more. It could also be worth checking Amazon coupon codes to get the best deal possible.
Dell: shop XPS, Inspiron and Alienware laptops
Dell no longer offers limited-time discounts on its range of laptops – instead, there’s only a featured section on its website. Unfortunately though, Dell doesn’t list the original price of these laptops, so it’s hard to know exactly what kind of deal you’re getting, or if you’re getting one at all. It does price match competitors' deals, and you can often find Dell coupon codes to ensure you’re getting the best discount.
HP: weekly deals on HP Envy, Spectre and Omen laptops
No matter when you look, HP is always offering discounts on its laptops, with fresh deals available each week. Typically, we see discounts of up to 40-50% off. Along with laptops, you’ll also find price cuts on PCs, monitors and other computing peripherals. The most substantial discounts seem to arrive on HP’s budget and mid-range devices. Check for HP coupon codes to ensure you’re getting the lowest price.
Lenovo: go-to for discounts on Lenovo ThinkPad, Yoga and Legion laptops
Lenovo is another laptop maker which always offers discounts via its online store. The maximum price cut is usually around 30-55% off, and runs the gamut of budget machines, 2-in-1 devices and premium gaming builds. To get any laptop discounts from the website, you’ll require a Lenovo coupon code, which is always listed next to the product.
JB Hi-Fi: frequent deals on Apple, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo
JB Hi-Fi regularly offers discounts across a wide range of laptop brands, so it’s always worth checking what’s available, especially during peak sale periods. It often offers 10% off Apple MacBooks, 20% off Dell, HP and Lenovo, along with discounts on Asus and MSI. If you see a manufacturer offering a model on sale, it’s worth seeing if JB Hi-Fi is beating it.
