A good laptop deal depends on what you need it for. This page gathers the latest laptop sales posted by Australian shoppers, from budget Chromebooks and student notebooks to MacBooks and high-end gaming machines, and refreshes the list automatically every few hours.
Quick buying checklist
Processor. Recent Intel Core Ultra, AMD Ryzen and Apple M-series chips all offer strong battery life.
Screen. Look for at least a Full HD (1920x1080) IPS or OLED panel; 14 inches suits travel, 15–16 inches suits desk work.
Memory and storage. 16GB RAM and an SSD make the biggest difference to everyday speed.
Warranty and returns. Check the retailer’s change-of-mind policy, especially for online-only deals.
Laptop deals peak during the EOFY sales in June, when businesses and sole traders buy equipment, and again during Black Friday and Click Frenzy in November. Back to school sales in January are also a good time for student laptops.
How much RAM and storage do I need?
For everyday study and office work, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD is a comfortable target. Gaming, video editing and programming benefit from 32GB of RAM and a dedicated graphics card.
Can I claim a laptop on tax?
If you use a laptop for work, you may be able to claim a deduction for the work-related portion. Rules depend on your situation, so check the ATO website or ask a registered tax agent.
Where do these laptop deals come from?
