Save on laptops from Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo and more

Whether you’re looking for an affordable laptop or a deeply discounted premium machine, you’ve come to the right place, as we’ve tracked down the best opportunities to save on a variety of models. We are in the middle of back to school sales, and there are some decent laptop deals to be had. It varies a bit week to week, but you’ll find laptop deals on Apple, Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer, Microsoft and Asus devices.
The laptop sales we’ve highlighted below have been selected for more than just their price – we also factor in specs and performance to help you get the best value for money out of your new laptop, that still fits into your budget. We also check the pricing (and track previous sales) to make sure it really is a good deal.
It's slim pickings this week, though Lenovo has decent discounts on a wide range of laptops, plus there are a range of HP deals worth checking out. HP has gone for a double whammy, and the HP eBay store has 20% off the often already discounted price of select laptops using code HP2025.
It's also a good idea to take a read of our best laptops guide, or, if you're a gamer, have a squiz at our best gaming laptops.
Top deals
Save AU$450.20 with code HP2025
This very portable laptop a decently powerful spec, plus a 13.3-inch 1920 x 1200, 400-nit, 100% sRGB IPS display. Plus it weighs in at under 1kg. We have seen it very slightly cheaper before, but this is still a great deal for the Aero.
Save AU$112
This is not the cheapest price we've seen for the 16GB M2 MacBook Air, but it's still a decent option for those who need a capable yet affordable machine. This deal is only 7% off vs buying the M2 Air from Apple, but keep in mind the newer M3 Air is also on sale for AU$1,767 (normally AU$1,799), so you currently save 16% 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.
Save AU$1200
This powerful laptop is currently 43% off and close to the lowest price we have seen. You don't often get a premium machine at this price – especially not one with a 14.5-inch, 2560 x 1600, IPS, 100% sRGB, 350-nit, 90Hz, touchscreen display. Not to mention a Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU. It also has a facial-recognition webcam, a big 73Wh battery and 140W USB-C charging.
Save AU$1,300
Score a great 46% off this versatile 2-in-1 HP Envy x360 from HP. It features an Intel Ultra 7 CPU along with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Plus of course a 1200p 16-inch touchscreen that conveniently folds through 360 degrees. Even better, it's actually AU$100 cheaper than during Black Friday.
Save AU$370
This compact machine has a decently powerful AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS CPU paired with 16GB of RAM, and can happily take on any everyday tasks. It's also got premium extras such as a 16:10 (1920 x 1200) 13.3-inch touchscreen display with a high 400 nit brightness and 100% sRGB colour reproduction, and a facial-recognition webcam. Not bad for 25% off.
Save AU$610
Kitted out with a decently powerful Intel i5-1334U 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 38% off. The IPS display has a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 300-nit brightness and covers 45% of the NTSC colour space. It can run for up to 10 hours unplugged thanks to the 41Wh battery, includes Wi-Fi 6 and has a full-size backlit keyboard with numpad.
Gaming laptops
Save AU$380
The Victus 15 is often sold around the AU$1,500 mark, and while we have seen a deeper discount, it's still a reasonable deal for a Core i5, RTX 4050 machine, as it's more than capable of decent frame rates on the 15-inch, 1080p, 144Hz screen.
Save AU$400
As a comparison, the same 24GB / 1TB model is AU$2,299 from JB Hi-Fi and the 16GB / 1TB variant is AU$1,599 from Lenovo. Working alongside the RTX 4060 GPU, the LOQ has a mighty AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS CPU plus 24GB of RAM. The GPU has a TGP of 105W (rather than the 140W possible in higher end machines) but that's still plenty of excellent frame rates on the 1080p 144Hz G-Sync display.
Save AU$101
The AU$1,199 eBay price here is slightly discounted from a more typical AU$1,299 – though Acer sells the Nitro V direct for AU$1,899. The deal is via the Bing Lee eBay store so you can either pick up in person or have it posted for AU$20. The RTX 4050 Nitro V is a lower end machine, but is well suited to gaming on the 1920 x 1080, 165Hz screen and offers great bang for buck.
Save AU$800
A slightly more budget-friendly option for the serious gamer here in the Legion Slim 5. Powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 processor and rocking the impressive Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, in a gaming laptop that is easy to take wherever you want thanks to a lightweight build.

This week’s best storewide laptop sales
Amazon: regular discounts on Chromebooks, plus best MacBook prices
Amazon has a regularly updated selection of laptop deals. It’s often the best place to go for cheap Chromebooks and mid-range devices, so worth a look if your budget is under AU$1,000. For those after a more premium device, Amazon often has the best prices available on Apple MacBooks, sometimes offering 10% off or more. It could also be worth checking Amazon coupon codes to get the best deal possible.
Dell: shop XPS, Inspiron and Alienware laptops
Dell no longer offers limited-time discounts on its range of laptops – instead, there’s only a featured section on its website. Unfortunately though, Dell doesn’t list the original price of these laptops, so it’s hard to know exactly what kind of deal you’re getting, or if you’re getting one at all. It does price match competitors' deals, and you can often find Dell coupon codes to ensure you’re getting the best discount.
HP: weekly deals on HP Envy, Spectre and Omen laptops
No matter when you look, HP is always offering discounts on its laptops, with fresh deals available each week. Typically, we see discounts of up to 40-50% off. Along with laptops, you’ll also find price cuts on PCs, monitors and other computing peripherals. The most substantial discounts seem to arrive on HP’s budget and mid-range devices. Check for HP coupon codes to ensure you’re getting the lowest price.
Lenovo: go-to for discounts on Lenovo ThinkPad, Yoga and Legion laptops
Lenovo is another laptop maker which always offers discounts via its online store. The maximum price cut is usually around 30-55% off, and runs the gamut of budget machines, 2-in-1 devices and premium gaming builds. To get any laptop discounts from the website, you’ll require a Lenovo coupon code, which is always listed next to the product.
JB Hi-Fi: frequent deals on Apple, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo
JB Hi-Fi regularly offers discounts across a wide range of laptop brands, so it’s always worth checking what’s available, especially during peak sale periods like EOFY. It often offers 10% off Apple MacBooks, 20% off Dell, HP and Lenovo, along with discounts on Asus and MSI. If you see a manufacturer offering a model on sale, it’s worth seeing if JB Hi-Fi is beating it.
