EOFY is a good time to check gaming laptop deals, even if the laptop isn’t going to be used for work. Gaming laptops can be quite expensive, so a legitimate discount can make a bigger difference than it does on a basic everyday laptop.

That said, a gaming laptop can also be a powerful workstation if your work does need extra grunt. A fast CPU, dedicated GPU and plenty of RAM can help with video editing, 3D work, coding, running AI tools, creative apps or just keeping a lot of browser tabs and programs open at once.

It’s also worth checking our main EOFY laptop deals hub even after June 30, because in previous years we’ve seen some great laptop deals hang around or pop up in early July as retailers clear leftover stock.

For gaming laptops, we have deals from lower-cost RTX 5060 machines with generous RAM, through to much more expensive RTX 5090 desktop replacements.

Save 41% (AU$1,222)Acer Nitro V 16S 16-inch | Intel Core 7 / RTX 5060 / 32GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$2,999 now AU$1,777 at Bing Lee

This is a tempting price if you want a gaming laptop that can also handle study and everyday work. The Core 7 240H, RTX 5060, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD make the spec very capable for the money, while the 16-inch 1920 x 1200 180Hz display means you can push older titles to high frame rates.

Save 13% (AU$900)Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16-inch (Gen 10) | Ultra 9 / RTX 5090 / 32GB / 1TB SSD: was AU$6,699 now AU$5,799 at Lenovo Australia

For those who want serious gaming power, the Legion Pro 7i with an Intel Ultra 9 275HX processor and RTX 5090 GPU is one of the better options going, even though it's 15% more than the price we saw on Black Friday in 2025. There are very few comparable machines at this price, making it an excellent deal if you are willing to spend big. Read our review to learn more.

The Acer Nitro V 16S is a good option for a buyer who wants current-gen gaming performance without paying big money. You still get an RTX 5060, 32GB RAM, a 1TB SSD and a 180Hz display for AU$1,777, which is a lot of hardware for the price.

The RTX 5060 is a lower-end current-gen GPU, but that’s still a good fit for 1080p or 1200p gaming, especially if you’re happy to use DLSS or turn down a few settings in the most demanding games. With RAM prices rising, 32GB of RAM is harder to take for granted at this price, so it’s good to see Acer include it rather than cutting back to 16GB.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is at the other end of the scale. Our Lenovo Legion Pro 7i review described it as “perfect for a desktop replacement, just okay as a portable”, and that’s exactly how I’d frame this deal.

You’re not buying it because it’s cheap or easy to carry everywhere. You’re buying it because you want a very powerful 16-inch gaming laptop with an RTX 5090, 32GB RAM, a 1TB SSD and a 240Hz OLED screen.

Our review gave the Legion Pro 7i 4 stars and called out its excellent gaming performance, gorgeous OLED screen and useful port selection. That makes it a good fit if you want one machine for demanding games, an external monitor setup and heavier work like editing, rendering or development.

The big caveat is battery life, which our review said “is not great”, but that’s the trade-off with this kind of desktop-replacement gaming laptop.

If neither of these gaming laptop deals is quite right, our main EOFY laptop deals hub has more options across cheaper Windows laptops, MacBooks, 2-in-1s and higher-end gaming machines.
