HOW TO GET THE BEST DEAL ON A NEW LAPTOP
If you’re looking to save on a new laptop, it’s worth shopping around to compare models. Brands like HP, Dell and Lenovo frequently offer discounts on a range of laptops and 2-in-1 models, making it worth checking out the sales tab on each individual website.
Third party retailers such as The Good Guys, Bing Lee and Harvey Normanalso run regular sales which include laptops and PCs, so it’s a good idea to sign up to their mailing lists to keep on top of upcoming sales.
Those in the market for an Apple MacBook will find it more difficult to come across a deal, as Apple rarely drops the price of its products. Luckily, an Apple store now exists on Amazon Australia, which means shoppers can find brand new Apple products at prices they won’t get elsewhere.
If you can afford to put off upgrading your laptop a while longer, we also recommend waiting until Black Friday or Boxing Day to shop. Tons of stores now use these events to offer their biggest discounts for the year, making them an ideal time to pick up a laptop on the cheap.
WHICH LAPTOP MODELS ARE WORTH THE SPEND?
The right laptop for your needs will come down to a number of factors including what you’ll be using it for, how portable you need it to be, how much memory you require and how much you’re willing to spend.
Once you’ve rounded up a few options based on these requirements, it’s a good idea to check customer ratings reviews to ensure each model is up to scratch. You can find these reviews on retailer websites or on Google reviews.
