AU$3,500+: Money is no object

Like just about everything you can buy, inflation has hit laptop prices hard. Finding a good deal on a gaming laptop isn't easy. But if you've got the cash to splash, you'll be rewarded with a machine that'll put many gaming desktops from just a couple of years ago to shame. Even the cheaper models will allow you to perform pretty much every conceivable task. Gaming is always a bit different though. A better GPU will get you higher frame rates and give you the grunt for more demanding modern games at higher resolutions with ray tracing effects turned on.

It's not like older generation laptops suddenly became useless overnight though. Far from it. There are great deals to be found on RTX 30 series laptops with 11th or 12th Gen processors, and of course, there are AMD options too, and they should not be overlooked.

Check back here regularly. We'll be highlighting the best deals we come across. No matter if you're after something cheap, something portable to keep you entertained on the road, an all rounder, or a true desktop replacement, We've got you covered with deals to suit all budgets.

But there are so many gaming laptops to choose from! If you need a bit of a helping hand, check out our picks for best gaming laptop.

Alienware m16 Gaming Laptop | Ryzen 9 7845HX | 32GB | 2TB | RTX 4080 | AU$3,899 now AU$2,998.60 from Dell (save $900)

Dell no longer give the before price online, so the AU$3,899 is our estimation based on comparable laptops. But for AU$2,998.60 this is a beast of a machine, and for these specs it's a bargain. The 1920 x 1200 resolution may not raise brows but the 100% DCI-P3 panel is mighty. All this for under three grand is well worth consideration if you're looking at a laptop upgrade.

AU$3,500+

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i | RTX 4080 | i9-14900HX | 16-inch | 2560 x 1600 @ 240Hz | 32GB RAM | 1TB NVMe SSD | AU$6,599 AU$3,999 at Lenovo (save AU$2,600) Lenovo's claim of a AU$2,600 saving is a bit on the generous side, but there's no taking away from the fact that this is an excellent laptop for AU$3,999. In addition to its powerful RTX 4080 graphics card, it's got one of Intel's best CPUs on board. It's still a pricey affair, but apart from a model with an RTX 4090 (which can sometimes end up slower because of its heat output), it'll be hard to find better without spending really silly money.

Chris' gaming experiences go back to the mid-nineties when he conned his parents into buying an 'educational PC' that was conveniently overpowered to play Doom and Tie Fighter. He developed a love of extreme overclocking that destroyed his savings despite the cheaper hardware on offer via his job at a PC store. To afford more LN2 he began moonlighting as a reviewer for VR-Zone before jumping the fence to work for MSI Australia. Since then, he's gone back to journalism, enthusiastically reviewing the latest and greatest components for PC & Tech Authority, PC Powerplay and currently Australian Personal Computer magazine and PC Gamer. Chris still puts far too many hours into Borderlands 3, always striving to become a more efficient killer.
