Best laptop sales in Australia: cheap laptops to buy in July 2024

MSI GF63 Thin 15.6-inch (12UC-825AU) | i5 / RTX 3050 / 16GB / 512GB SSD | AU$1,599 AU$899 (save AU$700)

This 15.6-inch gaming laptop is decidedly last generation, as it's equipped with an RTX 3050 graphics card. But for just AU$899, the combination of hardware on offer makes for a perfectly decent entry level gaming machine. We have not been hands on with this exact configuration, but it's worth having a read of our MSI GF63 review that had a more powerful i7 CPU and 3050 Ti GPU. While lower spec, the i5 CPU is still more than enough for gaming, plus you get 16GB of RAM and a 144Hz IPS-level 1920 x 1080 screen. It's pretty portable too, weighing in at 1.86kg. 

Acer Aspire GO 15 (NX.KRPSA.002) | Core i3 / 8GB / 512GB SSD | AU$799 AU$549 at eBay (save AU$250)

While Acer sells the GO 15 for $799, the Bing Lee eBay store has it discounted to $599, with a further AU$50 off using code JULSNS. And yes AU$549 is not under AU$500, but that extra AU$49 is well worth it so we included it anyway. 

The GO 15 is basic, but with an i3-N305 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 screen, it's a solid option for day to day use. 

Acer Swift Go 14 OLED| Ultra 5 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD | AU$1,299 AU$999 from eBay (save AU$299)

To get the price here you need to use code JULSNS at checkout. The same Acer Swift Go 14 is AU$1,699 direct from Acer, so AU$999 is a bargain for a 2880 x 1800 OLED equipped laptop that weighs 1.3kg and has over 11 hours of battery life. Or grab the more powerful Ultra 7 variant of the Swift Go 14 for AU$1,199 using the same eBay code. 

Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 14-inch (Gen 9) | Core Ultra 5 155H / 16GB / 512GB SSD | AU$2,329 AU$1,469 at Lenovo (save AU$860)

We loved last year's Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (Gen 8) but the new Gen 9 model takes it to a new level thanks to the Core Ultra 5 125H CPU and a 400 nit, 100% DCI-P3, 1920 x 1200 OLED touchscreen display. Of course it is a 2-in-1, so the screen can also fold through 180º for tablet style use.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14-inch (Gen 9) | Ultra 7 155U / 16GB / 1TB SSD AU$1,999 AU$1,597 (save AU$500)

As a comparison, Lenovo is selling this same Yoga Slim 7 model with 16GB RAM and a lesser 512GB HDD for AU$1,639 after a 29% discount. We don't yet have a review for the Yoga Slim 7, but have had hands on time with it and especially enjoyed the 1920 x 1200 OLED (non touch) display thanks to a 400-nit brightness and 100% DCI-P3 colour.

Amazon also has a Slim 7 variant that you can't buy direct from Lenovo – the same model but with 32GB of RAM for AU$1,798. Considering the RAM is soldered in and not upgradeable, AU$200 extra here is well worth it if you use any memory heavy applications. 

Acer Nitro V 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop | i5 / 16GB / 512GB / RTX 4050 | AU$1,199 AU$1,099 on eBay (save AU$100)

AU$100 off is thanks to the code JULSNS, but the AU$1,199 price is already discounted – Acer sells the Nitro V direct for AU$1,899. The deal is via Bing Lee so you can either pick up in store or have it posted for AU$20. The RTX 4050 equipped Nitro V is a lower end machine, but is well suited to gaming on the 1920 x 1080, 165Hz screen and offers great bang for buck.
