Nvidia’s powerful RTX 3070 graphics card is notoriously hard to come by, and retails for around AU$950 on its own when available. But if you’re willing to get your mitts on it via a ready-made rig, then there’s a big discount available on an Alienware gaming desktop outfitted with the elusive 3070 GPU.
If you’re looking to buy a tablet, the iPad Air 4 (2020) is now on sale, and it’s a beautiful device with some top-end spec. It’s not too often we see discounts on Apple products, but this saving makes a strong case to opt for the iPad Air over its more expensive iPad Pro counterpart.
We’re anticipating a new Nintendo Switch at some point, but if you don’t want to wait, the always-popular Nintendo Switch console is also on sale. A select number of retailers have dropped the price on the hybrid console, but we’ve dug up one of the best of the week.
