This model is equipped with a 10th-gen Intel Core i5 processor, delivering excellent performance.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook | AU$499 AU$316 on Amazon (save AU$183)
We rate the cheap and cheerful Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook as one of the best student laptops you can buy in a 2-in-1 form factor. This pint-sized laptop is portable and lightweight, with a screen that measures just 10-inches and a keyboard that can be detached entirely. It’s equipped with 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. Nab this Lenovo Chromebook for just AU$316 from Amazon – a huge bargain in our books.
Gaming laptops
Alienware m17 R4 | i7 / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD / RTX 3070 | AU$4,799 AU$3,359 on Dell (save AU$1,440)
This is an insanely beefed-up laptop by Alienware. While it does feature a 10th-gen Intel i7 processor, it’s matched with an incredibly powerful RTX 3070 graphics card, so you should be able to blitz through the latest AAA games with little compromise. You should get super-quick load times with 32GB of RAM as well. All this power does come at the expense of battery life, but if that’s not a dealbreaker for you, it’s a killer choice. Now a staggering AU$1,440 off on Dell.

The best deals on our favourite laptops
Over the years we've reviewed plenty of laptops, and as a result, we've seen what to avoid and what to jump on when there's savings to be had. We'll keep track of the prices of some of the best we've seen so that you can snatch up a bargain when they do show up. Check out the prices below and see if anything has dropped enough to spark your interest.
Saying that we’re very happy with Dell’s XPS 13 is a huge understatement. At first glance, its slim profile and small frame don’t give away the powerful performance and gorgeous 13-inch display inside. Typically, you’d have to weigh up portability and performance, but the XPS 13 has managed to strike a fine balance between the two. Sporting Intel’s latest 10th-generation chips, much-improved battery life and barely-there bezels, the starting price of the newest iteration of the XPS 13 is a tempting proposition. We’re so chuffed with it that it’s still our favourite Ultrabook, and has taken the top spot as the best laptop overall.

It’s true, the Aero 15 range from Gigabyte is aimed at creatives. However, it’s also an attractive option for gamers – with powerful internals, a brilliant display and a sleek chassis – so we think it’s one of the best-value gaming machines Australians can get their hands on. The 2019 model boasts a 15-inch 4K HDR screen, which is ideal whether you’re looking to buy for high-resolution on-the-go gaming or its intended creative use. Under the hood it’s also got the option of the latest Nvidia RTX series GPUs and 9th-gen Intel Core CPUs.

This premium portable 2-in-1 has a lot to love: a strong build, excellent battery life and a robust feature set. It has a 360° hinge, so can easily be converted from a conventional clamshell to a handheld tablet. There’s also the addition of Dolby Atmos speakers, cleverly built into the rotating hinge, so you’ll have superb sound whichever way you use it. The screen too is vibrant, though the graphics performance could leave some wanting. Still, with an 8th-generation chip, it’s a solid all-rounder for the 2-in-1 crowd.

If you’re looking for a student laptop, chances are you’re shopping on a budget. If that’s the case, our go-to bang-for-buck pick is the Acer Aspire 3 15-inch laptop. It’s a Chromebook, which means it runs on Google’s Chrome OS and is ideal for those with a reliable internet connection who want a laptop to browse the web and complete coursework online. The battery life isn’t the best, but if you don’t mind keeping your charging cable with you during the day, it certainly offers excellent value for money.
If you’re firmly placed in the Apple ecosystem, or you’re a Windows user thinking about converting, then we think the 2019 version of the MacBook Pro is the best Mac you can buy. It has a generous 16-inch display, and while that may spell a bulky laptop for other brands on the market, Apple remains true to form with this svelte machine. It’s got the latest and greatest components under the hood, rounded out with high-quality speakers and a much better keyboard than older models.
