Black Friday laptop deals in Australia 2024: offers on Apple, Dell, HP and Lenovo

Save AU$902

We were at the Australian launch for the Aura just last week, and think AU$1,997 is a cracker of a deal. The slim laptop features the new Series 2 Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, a big 15.3-inch 2800 x 1800 touchscreen display and premium features like a facial recognition webcam and Wi-Fi 7. Amazon (as usual) has a few of the specs wrong, so note it has an (excellent) IPS display, rather than OLED. You can also grab the Aura from JB Hi-Fi for the same price or direct from Lenovo for AU$2 more.

Save AU$272

This is not far off the cheapest price we've seen for the 16GB M2 MacBook Air, and it's a great option for those who need a capable yet affordable machine. This deal is 17% off vs buying from Apple, but keep in mind the newer M3 Air is also on sale for AU$1517, so you currently save 12.5% by opting for the older M2 version. Want to know if that's the right move? Check out our Apple MacBook Air (M2, 2022) review or jump to our MacBook deals below.

Save AU$1,100

The Victus 15 is already discounted by 44% down to AU$1399, but eBay Plus members can save an extra AU$100 using code SAVEBF and score it cheaper than even the EOFY sales.

Save AU$1,000

Kitted out with a decently powerful Intel i7-1355U CPU, 16GB of RAM, a large 512GB SSD and monster 17.3-inch display, the HP Laptop (yes, that is the actual name) is currently 50% off and the best price we have since the EOFY sales.

Save AU$1,800

While a dual screen laptop isn't for everyone, the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is one of the best options available.

Apple MacBook Air 13.6-inch (M3, 2024): from AU$1,517 (save up to AU$282) at JB Hi-Fi

The 13.6-inch M3 MacBook air is one of our favourite laptops, and is an even better deal now Apple has made 16GB of RAM the base configuration. JB Hi-Fi's is current taking up to AU$282 off both the 16GB and 24GB RAM models, which is a pretty decent saving compared to buying from Apple.

• 16GB RAM/256GB SSD: AU$1,799 AU$1,517
• 16GB RAM/512GB SSD: AU$2,097 AU$1,817

Apple MacBook Air 15.3-inch (M3, 2024): from AU$1,927 (save up to AU$272) at JB Hi-Fi

Prefer a bigger screen? JB Hi-Fi currently has decent discounts (for Apple products anyway) on the 15.3-inch M3 MacBook Air. Even better, the 8GB variant is no longer sold, and the flat AU$272 off the RRP (or up to 13% off) discount is for the 16GB and 24GB RAM models

• 16GB RAM/256GB SSD: AU$2,099 AU$1,927

Save AU$800

Apple has no longer sells the M3 MacBook Pro, and instead is taking orders for the new M4 model. While the original Au$5599 RRP here is outdated, this discount makes the M3 Max MacBook Pro 16% cheaper than shelling out for the M4 model with the amount of RAM and SSD.

Save AU$755 compared to the M4 MacBook Pro

While it's not quite the most powerful MacBook on the market – the new M4 chips take that mantle now – the M3 Max is more than enough for most users. The original RRP here has been superseded, but it's currently 11% cheaper than the AU$6,499 you'd pay for the same spec in the newer M4 Max model. That might not seem like much, but it's a decent discount if you don't need to stay cutting edge.

Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch | Core i5 / 16GB / RTX 4050 / 512GB SSD: was AU$2,039 now AU$1,299 from Lenovo
Save AU$739

Save AU$1,100

A more budget-friendly option for the serious gamer here in the Legion Slim 5. Powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 processor and rocking the impressive Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, in a gaming laptop that is easy to take wherever you want thanks to a lightweight build. Already an affordable option before this Black Friday special price, with AU$1,100 slashed off its price, this is one seriously attractive Lenovo gaming laptop.

Save AU$1700

While not the cheapest RTX 4060 gaming laptop deal going, it's less common to find a compact 14-inch machine. Especially one with a 2,880 x 1800 120Hz OLED display, and extras like Wi-Fi 7. Ignore the original optimistic RRP, and instead compare against the non discount AU$2,499 price at Officeworks.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 16-inch (Gen 9) | Core i7-14700HX / 16GB / 1TB SSD / RTX 4060: was AU$3,469 now AU$2,289 from Lenovo
Save AU$1,180

This is the Pro model of one of the best Lenovo gaming laptops available (check out our Lenovo Legion 5i review), and this deal knocks 33% off the price of the RTX 4060 variant. Sure, the AU$3,469 RRP is optimistic, but AU$2,299 is a great price for a premium gaming machine like the Pro 5i.

Or consider the RTX 4070 variant for AU$2,699.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16-inch (Gen 8) | Ryzen 7 7745HX / RTX 4070 / 32GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$3,999 now AU$2,399 from Lenovo

This discount is on the older (but still fantastic) Gen 8 model, and is AU$200 cheaper than what we saw during EOFY sales. 40% off is a great deal for a mighty Legion Pro 5 with a Ryzen 7 and RTX 4070. For your gaming pleasure, it also has a big 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS display, with 100% DCI-P3 colour, peak 500 nit brightness, plus a 240 Hz refresh rate for smooth gaming.

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (Gen 9) | Intel i9 / RTX 4080 / 32GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$6,399 now AU$3,999 from Lenovo
Save AU$2,400

Our pals at GamesRadar gave it 4.5 stars in their Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 review and were impressed by the performance and build quality. The current 37% off is the same discount the older Gen 8 model had for Black Friday 2023, and is a great deal for a premium gaming laptop.

Save AU$3,651

The RRP has been raised from AU$6499 back in June, but the discounted price is almost as good, and eBay Plus members can also score an extra AU$120 using code PLUS120. That's a steal for a gaming laptop with a mighty RTX 4090, i9 13900HX CPU, 32GB of RAM, 2TB of SSD and a huge 17.3-inch, 2560 x 1440, 240 Hz, 3 ms display.

Dell G15 5535 Gaming Laptop | Ryzen 7 / RTX 4060 / 16GB / 512GB: now AU$1,498.20 from Dell

Dell don't give a before price, but as a comparison this G15 variant was AU$1599 during the 2023 Black Friday sales and the cheapest Intel i7 RTX 4060 variant is AU$1,798.50. And you know what? Scoring a 15.6-inch laptop with a RTX 4060 GPU and a 1920 x 1080, 165Hz G-Sync screen with 100% sRGB colour for under AU$1,500 is a great deal.

Save AU$1,200

While not the cheapest RTX 4060 gaming laptop going, the Victus 16 has a decent mix of hardware that does justify the price. That said, it was AU$120 cheaper during the EOFY sales, so might drop a little more as we approach Black Friday. While it's slightly more expensive on the HP eBay Store, eBay Plus members can get it for AU$2,024 using code PLUS120, or get the i5, RTX 4070 variant for AU$2,329.
