Best New Zealand tech deals: Save up to NZ$1,140 on laptops, TVs and smartwatches

This Lenovo laptop is already an affordable option with a great IPS touchscreen display and solid battery life, and this discount makes the Yoga Slim 7i even more tempting. Check out our full review here.

The LG C5 is our favourite TV here at TechRadar, thanks to its excellent picture quality and competitive price point. This size would make it more suited for gaming, and the 144Hz refresh rate makes it even better for that use case. This discount makes this TV a hard one to pass up if you don't need a full-sized for your living room.

Can't wait for the official HBO Max launch in NZ this year to watch the new Harry Potter TV series? Perhaps this discounted Hogwarts Lego set would tide you over in the meantime. This 6,020-piece set will keep you busy enough until the HBO Max launch, and it looks great in person, too.

We call the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 "unequivocally the best mainline Galaxy Watch in ages" thanks to its new design and advanced health, sleep and AI features. Use the code MUM26 at checkout to get this price.

This Xbox controller is a premium version of the standard one included with your console, offering a durable feel and plenty of customisation options. This may not be the biggest discount, but it's well worth the upgrade if you're a big Xbox gamer.

This OLED gaming monitor from HP has 4K resolution and a 240hz refresh rate, making it perfect for competitive multiplayer as well as for creative tasks like editing videos and graphic design. While NZ$2,000 is a lot for a monitor, the true blacks from the QD-OLED technology is well worth the investment.

If you're in the market for new AirPods but don't want the in-ear design of the AirPods Pros (or if you're on a budget), PBTech has the 4th generation Apple earbuds on sale. They're great sounding, secure and comfortable to wear even without the eartips. The ANC version is also discounted at NZ$294.

The name points to its extremely compact form factor that packs everything inside the handle – a tube that measures just 3.8cm in diameter, roughly the same size as a ping pong ball. It might sacrifice some suction power, so it’s not suited for cleaning carpets, but it is very nimble and manoeuvrable when used on hard floors. A discount like this for a newly released and innovative Dyson vacuum is tempting for those with smaller spaces with hard floors.

This large screen 2-in-1 laptop from HP uses a latest-generation Intel Series 2 Core Ultra 5 226 CPU for solid performance and long battery life. The 16-inch touchscreen IPS display has a 1920 x 1200 resolution, and there’s a whopping 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage plus the latest features like Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4 and a facial recognition webcam. This 35% discount for a powerful Windows laptop is worth snapping up before RAM and storage shortages start to impact prices on devices like these soon.

This top-spec laptop from HP has a touchscreen OLED display in 3K resolution that's great for media consumption, while also powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. It's still a pricey laptop, but this discount for a device spec'd like this will be a bargain as the RAM and storage shortage will start to make tech more expensive.

This stick vacuum brings improvements over the standard Dyson V11 released in 2019, with increased suction, a click-in battery and a new Motorbar cleaner head. It also carries over the standard V11’s 60-minute battery life and the ability to adjust suction depending on floor type. A Dyson that’s NZ$551 cheaper than RRP is already a deal in my books, and the fact that the V11 Advanced is a good quality sick vacuum makes it even more tempting.

If you’ve been curious about Samsung’s smartwatches to pair with your Galaxy handset but don’t want to spend loads, this previous-generation Watch7 might be for you. The watch is zippy and feature-filled, while also looking like a traditional watch thanks to its sleek, circular design with no visible bezels. With the Watch8 still at around NZ$600, this deal is hard to pass up.

The FE tablet above is the better tablet, but at this price the S10 Lite might be the better buy for some. While the above competes with the iPad Air, at this price the Lite is facing off against the baseline iPad. If you're looking for a tablet to watch, scroll and draw on, this is a great buy.

We named this sit/stand desk as one of our most recommended thanks to its built-in power and cable management. The major downside from our review was the price, so this discount should address that concern somewhat if you're looking to upgrade your gaming or WFH setup.

Apple's latest noise-cancelling buds represent a significant upgrade from the AirPods Pro 2, but at full price they’re significantly more expensive. This discount takes care of that nicely (although if you're a Pro 2 user it's not worth the upgrade). New features in this model include a heart-rate monitor and even better ANC than before. I personally also think they're the best-fitting AirPods Apple has made to date.

To celebrate MAR10 Day, MightyApe has discounted a slew of Mario and Nintendo products, including this Lego set for adults featuring the Italian plumber on his signature go-kart in the Mario Kart franchise. This set has 1,972 pieces to form a 32cm long model that would be a great addition to any Mario or Nintendo fan’s space. Be quick, as these Mario Day deals end tomorrow, March 11.

While ice cream is usually synonymous with summer and hot weather, I personally find it’s still an enjoyable treat all-year round, so this deal for Ninja’s Creami ice cream maker should be right up your alley if you’re just like me. Our review found it makes creamy and smooth frozen desserts, and also does dairy-free ice cream well. At full price it is tricky to outright recommend, but this deal should make it a bit more tempting.

Dyson may be known for its stick vacuums these days, but the Dyson Big Ball Absolute is a great workhorse corded vac providing consistent power, making it a fantastic choice for those who have carpets all around their homes. This deal doesn’t quite make this the cheapest Dyson vacuum right now, but if you value a vacuum that never needs recharging, this one might be for you.

If you’re looking to step up your cooking repertoire, this food processor from Ninja has a powerful 1,000W motor that can easily mix dough, slice food, puree soups and more. It's also a compact gadget, yet is supplied with a large 2L jug for extra capacity. This discount makes this food processor a great option for uni students on a tight budget.

This TV from Samsung aims to be more of a fashion-forward addition to your living space rather than a conventional 4K TV. Samsung’s The Frame has a burnished metal frame, encasing the LCD panel and various vents along the sides, which makes the TV look just like a slim picture frame when mounted on a wall. This TV came out a few years ago, hence the relatively steep discount, but if this TV is up your alley then this deal might just be tempting enough.

February may be the final month of summer in New Zealand, but it’s still warm enough to enjoy a homemade slushie – I personally love frozen treats even during the winter! In any case, the Ninja Slushi will make frozen drinks a lot better than even our best blenders can muster. Spending NZ$579.99 a single use appliance is usually a big ask for most households, but this discount should make it more attractive if you make a lot of frozen drinks.

This 2-in-1 MagSafe-compatible charger from Ugreen allows you to simultaneously charge your iPhone (from 12 series and up) and your AirPods (or other earbuds and accessories that support wireless charging). The phone charger is rated at 7.5W and the bottom charger is at 5W, but Ugreen says using a charging adapter of at least 25W (sold separately) would further maximise charging efficiency. For any discerning Apple fan, this deal makes this charger hard to pass up.

If you’re a frequent traveller or if you’re just looking to have a single charging brick for all your smaller tech, this three-port 65W charger from Ugreen delivers fast charging even with all three slots taken. Our reviewer wasn’t a fan of its looks and the fact that the prongs aren’t foldable (a limitation of using GaN technology), but for this price, I’m sure those are minor enough to overcome for most of you.

Our esteemed colleagues at What Hi-Fi? said this turntable from JBL is a surefire winner in the budget space. It has a great quality built-in phono output making connection to an amplifier as easy as possible (but you can bypass it if you wish), or you can stream via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. If you're looking for a turntable upgrade, or a solid starting point to enter the world of vinyl, this JBL spinner is an excellent choice.

This ergonomic vertical mouse is perfect for small hands and it encourages better posture, thus reducing aches along the wrist, shoulder and shoulder blade. I use it myself (I have the white colourway) and can't recommend it highly enough, even at full price.

The X-E5 is a far cry from the budget options that used to be in the X-E range. It upgrades to a 40.2MP APS-C sensor, shoots at up to 20fps in burst mode with a 66-shot RAW buffer, and the sensor is stabilised too. If you like the rangefinder look, this is one heck of a compact package that you will need to buy a lens for.

It's been cheaper than this before, but this is still a fantastic saving on an excellent Nikon full-framer. The 24.6MP sensor can shoot at up to 120fps, records 6K video, has built-in image stabilisation and has dual card slots, including one for a CFexpress device to make full use of its speed.

While this deal is more expensive than the Prime Day price, this headset is an easy recommendation it at this price. Read our Corsair HS80 Max review for the full scoop, but we gave it 4 stars, and say it has a good sound, comes with both wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, a bunch of EQ options, plus RGB lighting.

By now you probably already own GTA 5, and given it's sold over 200 million copies you're in good company. But just in case, you can grab it for PS5 or Xbox for one of the cheapest prices we have seen. If you've somehow never heard of GTA 5 at all, then rest assured there are plenty of good reasons why people are still buying it today.

Bright, easy to use and even more easily expanded, the Philips Hue lightstrip is the go-to LED light strip for a reason. Pairing it with the Hue Bridge unlocks its true power, and it's a clean way to add accent lighting to any surface, with a range of brightness and colour options to choose from.

Want to make your home movies more immersive? This Govee backlight and camera system effectively extends the on-screen image beyond its bezelled confines and accurately tracks colours and flashes to the wall behind. It can also sync with music to dance along to your favourite tunes. Note that this is designed for 55 to 65-inch TVs.

There is excellent value for money here as this one tool will take care of hair anywhere on the body. It comes with 15 attachments and offers 26 hair length settings. Its battery life also promises to be just as good – up to 4 weeks on a single charge. It also happens to be waterproof.
