We think the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) is the best laptop in Australia . Its worthy of this spot thanks to Apples own M1 processor, which has greatly improved both performance and battery life for the laptop. Its carrying a price tag thats decently competitive with Windows 10 rivals too (finally).
The Good Guys has taken 10% off a range of Macs until July 7.

Apple MacBook Pro M1 | 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD | AU$1,899 AU$1,709 on The Good Guys (save AU$190)

features the powerful M1 chip. The upgrade brings stellar performance and exceptional battery life to Apples iconic chassis, and it feels rather luxurious. Its a small 10% discount, but its rare to find much more off an Apple machine. See more discounted MacBooks on The Good Guys.

Our favourite overall laptop: Dell XPS 13 (2020)

Dell's latest Ultrabook is simply the best laptop in the world CPU: 10th generation Intel Core i5 i7 | Graphics: Intel Iris Plus | RAM: 8GB 16GB | Screen: 13.3-inch FHD (1,920 x 1,080) 4K (3,840 x 2,160) | Storage: 256GB 2TB SSD Gorgeous design Excellent battery life Lackluster audio Expensive

Saying that were very happy with Dells XPS 13 is a huge understatement. At first glance, its slim profile and small frame dont give away the powerful performance and gorgeous 13-inch display inside. Typically, youd have to
weigh up portability and performance, but the XPS 13 has managed to strike a fine balance between the two. Sporting Intels 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. Were so chuffed
with it that its still our favourite Ultrabook , and has taken the top spot
as the best laptop overall .

favourite gaming laptop: Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED

The original designer's laptop gets an OLED upgrade CPU: Intel Core i7 9750H
| Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 (8GB GDDR6; MaxQ) | RAM: 16GB | Screen: 15.6-inch, 4K (3,840 x 2,160), 60HZ, AMOLED, Gloss | Storage: 512GB SSD 4K
HDR OLED screen RTX GPU and 9th-gen CPU Sleek with better thermal management Reasonably priced Max 60HZ refresh rate Unfortunate webcam placement

Its true, the Aero 15 range from Gigabyte is aimed at creatives. However, its also an attractive option for gamers with powerful internals, a brilliant display and a sleek chassis so we think its 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 youre looking to buy for
high-resolution on-the-go gaming or its intended creative use. Under the hood its also got the option of the latest Nvidia RTX series GPUs and 9th-gen
Intel Core CPUs.

A 2-in-1 laptop experience with little to no compromise CPU: 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8550U | Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 620 | RAM: 16GB | Screen: 13.9 UHD (3,840 x 2,160) IPS Glossy Multi-touch with Dolby Vision | Storage:
1 TB PCIe SSD | Connectivity: 802.11 AC (2 x 2) + Bluetooth 4.1 | Camera:
720p HD Camera Strong build quality Robust feature set Excellent battery life Weak graphics performance

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. Theres also the addition of Dolby Atmos speakers, cleverly built into the rotating hinge, so youll 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, its a solid all-rounder for the 2-in-1 crowd.

A Chromebook for schoolwork, and then some CPU: 10th-generation Intel Core i3-10110U | Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics | RAM: 4GB | Screen: 15.6-inch FHD (1,920 x 1,080; non-touch) | Storage: 128GB Great value Lightweight Limited
to Chrome OS

If youre looking for a student laptop, chances are youre shopping on a
budget. If thats the case, our go-to bang-for-buck pick is the Acer Aspire 3 15-inch laptop. Its a Chromebook, which means it runs on Googles 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 isnt the best, but if you dont mind keeping your charging cable with you during the day, it certainly offers excellent value for money. (Image credit: Future)
Our favourite Apple laptop: Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)

The best MacBook Pro ever CPU: 9th-generation Intel Core i7 i9 | Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5300M Radeon Pro 5500M | RAM: 16GB 64GB | Screen: 16-inch Retina display with True Tone | Storage: 512GB 8TB SSD Stunning 16-inch screen New and improved keyboard Expensive Limited to four Thunderbolt 3
ports

If youre firmly placed in the Apple ecosystem, or youre 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. Its got the latest and greatest components under the hood, rounded out with high-quality speakers and a much better keyboard than older models.
