Top deals
The Victus 15 is often sold around the AU$1,500 mark (and is currently full price at AU$2,199 from HP), but is now discounted on the HP eBay store. Plus, using code HPOC20, you get an extra 20% off, bringing the price down to an excellent AU$958.40 – not far off the lowest we have seen. And we think that's a great 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.
This laptop pairs a decently powerful RTX 4060 GPU with a 144Hz, 1920 x 1080 display to give smooth gaming at an affordable price. While it is found elsewhere for around AU$1,499, and often sold for that on Amazon, this is still a solid deal.
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.
The best deals on everyday laptops
This larger 15-inch Slim 5 is hard to recommend at the AU$1,769 web price, but the discount down to AU$1,079 makes it an excellent deal. It uses a powerful AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS CPU plus 16GB of RAM. It also has a very nice 16:10 (2560 x 1600) OLED screen with a high 500-nit brightness and 100% DCI-P3 colour reproduction. And we think it is very much worth opting for the AU$11 upgraded 70Wh battery.
Or go for the Ryzen 7 model with 32GB of RAM for AU$,1299.
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.
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 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 laptop has an impressive spec for the price, with an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 Processor CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. It also has a very nice 2880 x 1800 OLED display, a facial recognition webcam, Wi-Fi 7 and a 70Wh battery.
This large screen 2-in-1 from HP uses the latest Series 2 Core Ultra 5 226 CPU, for solid performance and long battery life. The 16-inch laptop has a 1920 x 1080 IPS touchscreen display, a decent amount of RAM and storage plus the latest features like Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4 and a facial recognition webcam. Make sure to apply the code HPOC20 at checkout to get the full discount.
The Dell 16 Plus launched at AU$2,600, then dropped to AU$2,099 not long after, then AU$1698.40, and you can get it for AU$1,612.43 using the code FUTURE5% at checkout. That's not bad for this powerful laptop – especially since it has a 2560x1600 display, plus extras like Thunderbolt 4 USB-C and Wi-Fi 7.
While the AU$3,798 launch RRP wasn't too appealing, the XPS 13 recently dropped to AU$2,196.70, and you can score an extra 13% off using code FUTURE13%. Even discounted, the XPS is an expensive machine, but this is a decent price for the premium Snapdragon X Elite, 32GB RAM model with the 2880 x 1800 OLED touchscreen.
The IdeaPad Pro packs efficient performance with its AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 processor, 24GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD – all powered by a big 84Wh battery. It also includes premium features like an IR webcam for facial recognition and a large 16-inch, 120Hz, 2800 x 1800 OLED screen that boasts 100% DCI-P3 colour and a 500-nit brightness.
This compact machine has a decently powerful AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS CPU paired with 16GB of RAM, and can happily take on any everyday tasks. It also has premium extras such as a 16:10 (1920 x 1200) 13.3-inch touchscreen display with a high 400-nit brightness and 100% sRGB colour reproduction, and a facial-recognition webcam. Not bad for 32% off.
This compact machine has a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU paired with 16GB of RAM, and can happily take on your daily workload. It also has premium extras such as a 16:10 (1920 x 1200) 13.3-inch touchscreen display with a high 400-nit brightness and 100% sRGB colour reproduction, and a facial-recognition webcam.
Powered by a capable Intel Core 7 150U CPU, 16GB of RAM and a spacious 512GB SSD, the HP Laptop 17 also boasts a massive 17.3-inch display. While often discounted to around AU$900, this is the lowest we have seen this machine and it's a great option if you need a large screen laptop. The IPS panel offers a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 300-nit brightness, and 45% NTSC colour coverage. It can run for up to 10 hours on a single charge thanks to the 41Wh battery, and it comes with Wi-Fi 6 plus a full-size backlit keyboard with a numpad. To get the full discount here, apply the code HPOC20 at checkout.
Gaming laptop deals
This laptop pairs a decently powerful RTX 4060 GPU with a 144Hz, 1920 x 1080 display to give smooth gaming at an affordable price. While it is found elsewhere for around AU$1,499, and often sold for that on Amazon, this is still a solid deal.
This gaming laptop launched back in early June and has been AU$2,599.6 until last week, when it dropped to AU$1,999.80. You can now also get an extra 13% off using the code FUTURE13% – bringing the price down to AU$1,737.87. This model only has a TGP of 80W, so it's slower than a 115W TGP RTX 4060, but it's still a reasonable deal for the specs if you want a more efficient but gaming capable machine with a big 16-inch, 2560 x 1600 120Hz display.
This mighty gaming laptop was an unrealistic AU$4198.70 since back in June, but has had its first price drop to AU$3,499. Then use the coupon code FUTURE13% at checkout to bring the price down to AU$3044.22. That's pretty good for an RTX 5070 machine with an Ultra 9 CPU, 32GB of RAM and a large 16-inch 2560 x 1600 240Hz display.
This powerful gaming machine has been discounted down to AU$4,249 on eBay, and for a limited time you can save an extra 20% off using code HPOC20. That's a pretty good deal for a gaming laptop with a 16GB RTX 5080 GPU, Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 CPU, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and a big 16-inch, 2560 x 1600, 240Hz, 3ms display.

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 like EOFY. 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.
