Apple MacBook Air 13-inch | M5 / 16GB / 512GB SSD: was AU$1,799 now AU$1,717 at Amazon

HP  OmniBook X Flip 16 | Ultra 7 / 32GB / 1TB SSD
Save 22% (AU$600)
HP OmniBook X Flip 16 | Ultra 7 / 32GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$2,699 now AU$2,099 at Amazon

This large screen 2-in-1 from HP uses the latest Series 2 Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, for solid performance and long battery life. The 16-inch laptop has an excellent 2880 x 1800 OLED touchscreen display, 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage — plus the latest features like Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4 and a facial recognition webcam. We have seen it for about 10% less, but with rising laptop prices, this is a pretty good price if you are after a big 2-in-1 machine. While Amazon does not show a before price, is originally was at AU$3,300, and often drops to AU$2,300, making this a decently better deal.

Apple MacBook Pro | M5 / 24GB / 1TB SSD
Save 5% (AU$162)
Apple MacBook Pro | M5 / 24GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$2,999 now AU$2,837 at Amazon

The 24GB MacBook Pro currently has a small discount from Amazon compared to buying it for AU$2,999 from Apple.

You can also get the 16GB model for AU$2,557 from Amazon – discount from the AU$2,699 from Apple.

Gaming laptop deals

With all the price fluctuations around hardware, we aren't seeing many good gaming laptop deals right now. But stay tuned, as we will be adding any new discounts as soon as they are available.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 16-inch (Gen 10) | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 / 32GB / 1TB SSD
Save 33% (AU$1,540)
Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 16-inch (Gen 10) | Ultra 9 / RTX 5070 / 32GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$4,639 now AU$3,099 at Lenovo Australia

The Pro model of one of our favourite Lenovo laptops has a decent discount on the RTX 5070 variant, though it is AU$300 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.
