Boxing Day laptop deals start early – and these discounts are perfect for university, work or a sneaky gaming upgrade

Boxing Day early laptop deals are here

Afternoon everyone, and welcome to our live coverage of Boxing Day laptop deals in Australia.

Although Boxing Day doesn’t officially fall until December 26, sales from major brands and retailers are already starting to roll in. Some of them are really great prices on machines I’ve been eyeing for months.

Others are… less impressive…

And that’s what this live blog is for. I’ve spent all year tracking laptop prices and promotions so I have a clear idea of ​​what a fair street price looks like and what a true discount is versus an inflated MSRP.

To evaluate a deal, I check recent price history and prices during previous sales to see if it’s actually a savings worth making.

Laptops tend to be most competitive around Black Friday through Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s, but the sheer number of configurations, coupon codes and creative pricing strategies from retailers can make it difficult to know where to start.

But fear not, because I’ll highlight the offers that stand out for their value, and not just the biggest percentage claims, whether you’re looking for an affordable machine for work or study, a creator laptop with a color-accurate screen, or a gaming rig from large to small.

Behind the scenes I live in the glow of spreadsheets on four screens, and I will continue to update this page itself until Boxing Day.

So bookmark this page and check it often to see the latest price changes and new offers.
