Save 37% (AU$840)
Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5 16-inch | AMD Ryzen 7 AI / 16GB / 512GB SSD: was AU$2,289 now AU$1,449 at Lenovo Australia

This extra large 16-inch Slim 5 has scored a decent discount from the rather high RRP. It uses the new AMD Ryzen 7 AI 350 and 32GB of RAM, plus has an excellent 16:10 (2880 x 1800) OLED display with a high 500-nit brightness and 100% DCI-P3 colour reproduction.

Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch | Ryzen 7 / 16GB / RTX 5060 / 1TB SSD
Save 45% (AU$1,380)
Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch | Ryzen 7 / 16GB / RTX 5060 / 1TB SSD: was AU$3,079 now AU$1,699 at Lenovo Australia

For gamers on a budget, the LOQ laptop lineup is quite affordable — even if we have seen it AU$200 cheaper. Working alongside the 100W TGP RTX 5050 GPU, the LOQ has an older but grunty AMD Ryzen 7 250 CPU and 16GB of RAM. It's not exactly the most powerful machine, but the RTX 5050 will give decent frame rates on the 1080p, 144Hz display.
