Best New Zealand tech deals: top online discounts in December 2024
The best early Black Friday deals in New Zealand right now
2024 has been an incredible year for tech deals, and that was never more evident than with the prices we saw during Black Friday at the end of November. The deals stop for nobody, however, and with Christmas on the horizon there's still huge discounts to be had across a range of top tech in New Zealand.
If you need help shopping for your loved ones these holidays, we've got an array of Christmas gift ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Still, with so many large discounts available across New Zealand retailers like Noel Leeming, PB Tech and Amazon AU, you don't need to get deep into the weeds to find a great deal.
Quantity doesn't equal quality, though, and it can be tough to know which deals are actually worth your time. That's why we've done the work for you – comparing discounts and analysing past prices – to find you the five best deals available in New Zealand right now. Of course, despite the bargains we're seeing this week, if you're looking for the best prices – and don't need them before Christmas – Boxing Day sales are likely to offer the best prices we've seen in 2024.

5 best deals in New Zealand

If you mostly play new games, or have no urge to have to leave your house and walk into a shop to get a game you want, then the Digital Edition PS5 is perfect. You get all the benefits of the model with a disc-drive, with a more symmetrical shape and generally smaller frame thanks. Plus, physical discs and digital downloads both take up the same amount of console storage.
If you love picking up games at great discounts, or want the ability to share a disc with a friend, the regular PS5 Slim is down to NZ$695 from AU$769.95.
Save NZ$50
Much of the best Amazon-owned tech doesn't consistently ship to New Zealand, including Ring and Kindle, as well as Fire TV Sticks. Luckily, thanks to this Noel Leeming deal, you can still massively save on one of the best streaming devices on the market. Offering 4K viewing, it's incredibly easy to use and setup, making watching the best streaming services easy as pie.
Save NZ$18.33
Light and compact, with an affordable price even at RRP and an IP67 water and dustproof rating that means it can accompany you anywhere, if you're after a smaller Bluetooth speaker – or it's on a loved ones Christmas wishlist – this deal is for you. Its sound quality won't blow you away, but with an array of colourways for a smidge over NZ$50, there's a lot to like about this discount.
Save NZ$137.86
We've only reviewed the battery model, but the two products are exactly the same – this model just has to be wired in. Fast and reliable, this camera's solid design, weatherproofing, reliable app and ability to work inside and outside make it a very strong wireless security camera. Some features, like recording, are stuck behind a subscription, though.
Save NZ$70.02
Their funky design might turn you off, but the Pulse Elite headset is a truly superb headset for the PS5. The headset’s planar magnetic drivers provide an excellent audio experience, and its retractable mic is perfect for those who need a quality mic when playing a multiplayer game, but don't want it in their face when gaming solo. We said it would be a no-brainer for PS5 owners if it ever dropped to NZ$200 in our PlayStation Pulse Elite review, and this discount just misses that mark.

The Breville the Barista Touch makes delicious coffee simple thanks to its integrated grinder with user-friendly assisted tamping and auto-dosing to produce great results. Even for those who love a cappuccino, simply choose how you like your coffee with its intuitive touchscreen the machine does the rest. Working just as well for quick caffeine hits as it does for those methodical Sunday morning brews, the Barista Touch is an investment, but it’s one of the best espresso machines for a reason.
Save NZ$1170
If you're looking for a laptop with a large display without paying exorbitant prices, this HP deal is for you. With a massive 17.3-inch display, we think this laptop is one of the best 17-inch laptops when shopping on a budget. With a Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB storage and fast-charging battery, it's made for work.
Save NZ$1,855
If you're not sure the Envy has enough oomph, the Spectre certainly will. If you're a gamer, content creator or professional who wants to combine portability of a tablet with the power needed to get your job done, the HP Spectre x 360 is for you. Usually exceedingly pricey, this 35% discount makes it dramatically easier to recommend. Its AI functionality, Poly Studio audio, a touchpad with haptic feedback and 2560 x 1600 resolution doesn't hurt, either.
Save NZ$150
It just looks comfortable, doesn't it? Well, having got our hands on the Titan Evo back in June of 2022, we can confirm it's as comfy as it looks. While we called it one of the best gaming chairs on the market, which it undoubtedly is, the Titan Evo isn't gaming-exclusive. With an exceptionally customisable lumbar support, recline and tilt adjustability, and an included neck pillow, we can't find too much fault at this price. If you need a chair for long gaming or working sessions, this could be it.
