Reported out of stock
MSI Thin 15 | Core i5 | RTX 3050 | 16GB | 512GB: was AU$1,499 now AU$899 at Mwave

This impressive offering is going to deliver playable frames for most games as long as you don't crank the detail up too high. The 15.6-in screen is sizeable for the price, and its Intel Core i5-13420H CPU plus RTX 3050 GPU all match well. As long as your expectation aren't sky-high this is a great buy for a basic gaming machine.

HP Victus 15 | i5 | RTX 4050 | 16GB | 512GB SSD: was AU$1,499 now AU$999.20 at eBay

A nice discount on this mid-range gaming laptop, which usually goes for around AU$1,500 (whereas the RRP is AU$2,199). To get the price listed above, you'll need to use the code HPNV20 at checkout. For an RTX 4050 lappy with a 15-inch 144Hz screen, that's pretty good.

Reported out of stock
Asus V16 Lifestyle Laptop | Core 5 | RTX4050 | 32GB | 512GB: was AU$1,999 now AU$1,498 at Amazon

Asus markets this as a 'lifestyle' machine, which means it's thin and light, and pretty cleanly designed. But even with a last-gen RTX 4050 it's still got the gaming chops, as long as you don't expect to play in high detail in the latest AAA titles. The 144Hz screen is also a nice addition at this price.

Reported out of stock
Gigabyte Gaming A16 | 13th-Gen i7 | RTX5050 | 16GB | 1TB: was AU$1,999 now AU$1,499 at Mwave

We reckon the Gigabyte A16 range is one of the best looking gaming laptops out there. Slick. Smooth. You. This is the base model with an RTX5050, paired with a 13th Gen i7-13620H. It's not lacking anywhere, with a 1TB SSD, 16GB of DDR5 and a very nice 16-inch IPS screen. This will get you gaming for peanuts with such a chunky discount.

Gigabyte Gaming A16 | 13th-Gen i7 | RTX5060 | 16GB | 1TB: was AU$2,099 now AU$1,599 at Mwave

A step up from the A16 deal above, this one sports a better GPU in the form of an RTX5060. And for just a hundred bucks more that's definitely worth it for significantly better performance, in our opinion. The rest of the specs are the same (and you should check them out in our link, it's everything you'll need).

Reported out of stock
Alienware 16 Aurora | Core 7 | RTX5050 | 16GB | 1TB: was AU$2,799 now AU$1,564.65 at Dell

I'm impressed by what you get here for this discounted price. It's a basic gaming laptop, but the Core 7 and RTX 5050 match well and will do well in most games with medium detail. To get the discount here, apply the code FUTURE13% in the checkout.

In comparison, the same machine (but with a smaller SSD) will set you back AU$1,849 from Amazon.

Alienware 16 Aurora | Core 7 | RTX5060 | 16GB | 1TB: was AU$3,499 now AU$1,739.83 at Dell

Using the same chassis and screen as the other Aurora we found, this one kicks it up to an RTX 5060 GPU. That all makes for a much more versatile gaming machine that can be pushed quite a bit higher in detail levels, or just go for high frames at medium settings. Make sure to apply the code FUTURE13% at checkout.

MSI Crosshair A16 HX | Ryzen 9 | RTX 5060 | 16GB | 1TB: was AU$2,699 now AU$2,189 at Mwave

Here's a reasonably priced gaming laptop with decent performance via the Ryzen 9 7945HX paired with an RTX5060. The 16-in IPS screen can run at up to 240Hz, though you'll probably need frame-gen to approach that with high detail enabled in your more demanding games.

Reported out of stock
Alienware 16X Aurora | Ultra 9 | RTX5070 | 32GB | 2TB: was AU$4,198.70 now AU$2,695.87 at Dell

This powerhouse gaming laptop was a steep AU$4,198.70 in June, but it’s now sitting at AU$3,098.70. Add the code FUTURE13% at checkout and the total drops to AU$2,695.87, and that’s a pretty solid deal for a machine running an RTX 5070 with an Ultra 9 CPU, 32GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD and a big 16-inch 2560 x 1600, 240Hz screen.

Here's a nice 5070Ti machine from Asus with a grand lopped off the price for Black Friday, and you can grab it now. The 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a serious gaming powerhouse, and it can pull up to 65W when under load so it won't be starved of juice. It's the RTX 5070Ti we like best in this rig, being the laptop sweet-spot GPU of the moment. There's free shipping on this deal too.

MSI Vector 18 HX AI A2XW | Core Ultra 9 | RTX 5080 | 32GB | 1TB: was AU$5,899 now AU$4,099 at Mwave

MSI does like making gaming laptops that are king of the hill, and this one is almost at the tippy top. It's got Nvidia's second fastest laptop GPU, and pretty much the best of everything else. Our reviewer liked most things about it except the price. So with this pretty massive discount going down here it's all good, and you get free shipping as a bonus.

Now we're cooking. This is a very capable gaming lappy, with a meaty Ultra 9 275HX processor and RTX 5080 GPU. That's enough to fill all 240 of the screen's Hz with buttery frames. It comes with all the mod cons, including Wi-Fi 7. Apple the code TECHRADARBFCM at checkout to get the full deal.

You can also grab it for AU$4,497 from Amazon, or upgrade and get the RTX 5090 variant for AU$4,752.03 from Lenovo using the same code as above.

HP Omen Max 16 | Core Ultra 9 | RTX 5090 | 32GB: was AU$8,599 now AU$4,999 at HP Australia

Sure, a fully specced gaming laptop with pretty much the best of everything will cost you the same as a used car, but HP's lopped AU$2,600 off the price with this early Black Friday stunner. RTX 5090? Check. Core Ultra 9? Check. 16-inch 240Hz OLED? Hell yeah! Connectivity is supreme, too, with a pair of Thunderbolt 4 40Gbps ports, HDI 2.1 and a couple of USB-A ports.

MSI MSI Raider 18 HX | Core Ultra 9 | RTX5090 | 64GB | 2TB+2TB: was AU$9,999 now AU$7,499 at Mwave

Yes, the AU$2,500 discount here is more than the total cost of many laptops, but this is no ordinary beast, it's basically the best of everything. That means an RTX5090, an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX, 65GB of RAM and 2x2TB of SSD storage. Everything else is top-tier, too, including Wi-Fi 7 and an 18-inch miniLED screen.

Samsung Odyssey G5 G55C: was AU$369 now AU$199 at Mwave

Look: this is a pretty great price for a curved 27 inch QHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate, and if you're looking for a reliable second screen the price is verily right. Boasts HDR10, AMD FreeSync and a 1ms response time. A very tempting "for a rainy day" pick up.

Gigabyte M27Q2 QD: was AU$449 now AU$339 at Mwave

MWave is among the major local retailers offering this 27 inch "super speed" IPS QHD screen for AU$110 off. You're mostly paying for the impressive 210Hz refresh rate on this one, but it also has Gigabyte's Quantum Dot Technology and four-sided cooling.

Philips Envia 3000 27M2N3800F UHD 27 inch gaming monitor: was AU$499 now AU$399 at Mwave

A nice 'n' neat saving off this affording 4K IPS monitor, boasting a 160Hz refresh rate and DisplayHDR 400. In our review of this model earlier this year, we wrote that this is Philips' attempt to make 4K gaming "mainstream", and given the price point it's fair to say this one's accessible for most people in the market for a new gaming monitor.

There's not much more you could want with this chonker. 44-inches of 170Hz curved screen to lose yourself into, and at AU$899 it's a bit of a bargain right now. The 5120 x 1440 resolution is also damn handy when you use this as a work monitor.

Philips Envia 8000 Series 34M2C8600 QD-OLED: was AU$1,699 now AU$999 at Mwave

At around launch, this gorgeous curved QD-OLED display was our favourite gaming monitor (our review gave it a stunning 95 / 100 score), and while it's not our fave anymore, it's still a damn fine panel, and well worth investigation for a fraction beneath a grand. This wide, curved, 34 inch jewel boasts a 175Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 for some stunningly deep blacks, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support.

A tidy discount on this rather excessive 34 inch curved ultrawide OLED monitor. It has a 175Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and a crisp 3440x1440 resolution. We haven't tested this particular model, but if you already know you want it, this discount is probably worth noting.

This compact 27 inch OLED MSI beauty boasts a 4K resolution with a blistering 240Hz refresh rate—if you've got the hardware to make the most of it. Obviously this is a pricey panel with the discount or not, but we can vouch for its quality. In his 85 / 100 review, Jeremy Laird admired its pixel density, pixel speed and great HDR experience, while bemoaning its price.

This 32-inch affair is one of our fave gaming monitors, and if you don't trust me check out this 92 / 100 review. Samsung's QD-OLED tech pumps out a sharp 4K resolution with an uber-smooth 240Hz refresh rate, with AMD FreeSync and G-Sync support into the fact.

I use this keyboard every day, all day and can highly recommend. The RGB is typically stunning, and the build is very robust: you could use it to knock out an intruder. It features 8,000Hz hyper-polling, 4,000Hz key scanning, PBT Double-shot Pro keycaps and yeah: it looks great.

If you want your keyboard to take up as little space as possible, this is a wireless 65 percenter with low profile optical switches. Small doesn't mean discreet though, so rest assured there's plenty of RGB on this thing.

Corsair K55 Core Membrane: was AU$79.95 now AU$50 at Amazon

This discount makes an affordable keyboard much more so, dipping it into impulse buy territory. Membrane keyboards aren't for everyone - they lack the gratifying tactility of their mechanical siblings—but if you like 'em, or are curious, this is a trick. It's a wired affair with ten-zone RGB, spill resistance, and—naturally unusually quiet button presses.

Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro: was AU$299.95 now AU$229.54 at Amazon

This brilliant DeathAdder iteration sits at the top of our best gaming mice list at the moment. It's not a mouse for everyone—most regular gamers won't notice the boosted sensitivity and precision, for example—and the price reflects that. But if you're after a mouse with 45,000 DPI, 150 hours of battery life, Razer's HyperSpeed wireless tech and a light weight of only 56g, this discount will tempt you.

Razer DeathAdder Essential (white): was AU$94.95 now AU$33 at Amazon

This is a dependable budget mouse at a price you can barely argue with, even if you're just after a backup rodent. It has an advertised 10 million click lifespan, and a 6,400 DPI, which isn't the highest but at this price point you can hardly argue it's not enough. While the RRP is AU$94.95, the actual street price hovers around AU$50.

The Corsair Sabre V2 Pro is one of PC Gamer's best reviewed gaming mice of 2025. Jacob Fox loved its near-impossible lightness (36g!), app-free ease of use, brilliant sensor and robust build, though didn't like that it can only store one onboard profile. Look at the specs: 8,000Hz Hyper-Polling, 33,000 DPI, and up to 70 hours of battery life. For a newly released gaming mouse, this discount is great.

A nice clean AU$34 off this thicc gaming mouse. It has to be: it's equipped for optimal FPS and MOBA use, meaning it has seven customisable buttons, onboard profile storage, a toothy scroll wheel, and two-tone RGB. This is a good price for a solid mouse.

Corsair Scimitar Elite RGB wireless gaming mouse: was AU$239 now AU$128.08 at Amazon

Not an all-time low, but still a decent price for a niche piece of kit. It's aimed squarely at MMO players, but it'll come in handy to anyone who likes more complex games with lotsa commands. It has 16 programmable buttons and an impressive 150 hour battery life, with both wireless and Bluetooth connectivity (it comes packaged with a wireless dongle). You can even slide the 12 side bottoms along the right hand side of the mouse for perfect comfort.

A decent discount on this premium Logitech rodent, which has an RRP of AU$299.95 which Amazon is evidently ignoring. It boasts five programmable buttons and an astonishing 95 hours battery life on a single charge, but still a small saving. Boasts a 32K DPI sensor and up to 8 kHz polling.

Corsair HS35 v2: was AU$43.65 now AU$29 at Amazon

We haven't tested this particular Corsair model but I'm including it because it's twenty-nine fricken dollars. From a reputable brand, I feel like it's an absolute steal if you want to pay as little for a gaming headset as possible. It's a wired affair (of course) with a floating headband, omni-directional mic and onboard mute and volume controls. If you're on a budget or just don't like the idea of spending big on gaming peripherals, I'd leap at this.

Razer Barracuda X wireless gaming headset: was AU$159.95 now AU$119 at Amazon

A chunky discount on this very capable wireless set of cans, boasting both 2.4 Ghz wireless and Bluetooth (the latter helps it double as an on-the-go set of headphones) as well as 50 hour battery life and a detachable mic. We reviewed an earlier version of this model without Bluetooth and liked what we tested. The black colourway has now sold out, but you can still nab this price in white or pink.

If you're hell bent on keeping costs low, JBL’s Quantum 100M2 is cheap as chips—especially if you happen to be buying AU$38 worth of chips. These aren't fancy but they do work, with a boom mic, breathable ear cushions, and a stripped-back design.

A nice cut off this relatively new set of gaming cans with some great features: Dolby Atmos, dual wireless (connect to two things at once!) and fast charging for the battery with 70 hours capacity. We reviewed it in April and it held up well, though we did bemoan its "reliance on bloatware" and the lack of a wired connection.

HyperX Cloud Alpha: was AU$139 now AU$80.70 at Amazon

According to PC Gamer's guide to the best gaming headset, the HyperX Cloud Alpha is the best wired headset you can get right now. As far as sound and comfort goes, there no other headset in this price range that can match it. These usually go for around AU$110 in Australia, but this Amazon UK deal ships free, so there's no reason to pay more.

Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro: was AU$499 now AU$439.99 at Amazon

We're not all audiophiles. Not everyone needs a AU$6,000 turntable to enjoy a record about mechanical keyboards. And that holds true for gaming: I'm fine with a AU$100 headset. Others are not! This Beyerdynamic headset is our favourite wired audiophile set, and while it was available for a bit less at Mwave earlier in the sale, Amazon now has the price at AU459 off. It still doesn't make it cheap per se, but it's a welcome cut that makes it a bit more accessible. If you're unconvinced (and want to be convinced) check our review.

This winning headset scored 88 / 100 in our review. We loved the price point, the comfortable floating headband, the spatial audio and the long battery, while complaining about its "meh" mic and no ANC. This is a substantial discount if you're in the market for one of these.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless gaming headset : was AU$735 now AU$441.71 at Amazon

The RRP on this set of wireless gaming cans is absolutely bonkers, but this Black Friday discount brings it down to something way more affordable. Our review was very enthusiastic, noting its "impressive connectivity, fast charging, hot-swappable batteries and great adjustability". Needless to say its sound quality is bleeding edge premium as well. Not many people need a headset this expensive (even with the discount) but if you're in the market, now's the time.

ASUS ROG Xbox Ally: was AU$999 now AU$949 at Mwave

If you're curious about this collab between Asus and Microsoft, AU$50 off the RRP may tip you over the edge. This particular model should not be confused with the ROG Xbox Ally X, which has better specs than this cheaper model. I wouldn't personally opt for this over the Steam Deck, mostly because this thing is pricey and doesn't have trackpads. But it's there if you want it.

Lenovo Legion Go S (512GB): was AU$1,199 now AU$799 at JB Hi-Fi

A generous discount on this Lenovo handheld, which comes equipped with Windows (and not SteamOS like one of its stablemates). The best thing going for it is its bright 120Hz screen, but it also has great battery life and superlative comfort. This model has 16GB RAM; it's also possible to get a 32GB equivalent, though there aren't any offers on that model at present.

Our favourite budget PC controller gets a discount that brings it into impulse-buy territory. There's a lot to love at this price point: 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity, Bluetooth, a wired option via the Type-C port, and ten hours of battery life. The build quality isn't the sturdiest going around, and there's no audio jack, but this is a great piece of kit for well under AU$50.

Another reason to skip buying an Xbox controller. For AU$70 you're getting a drift-free controller with gyro support, some light RGB adornments, and two paddle buttons. The sticks are TMR, which is an even more precise version of Hall Effect technology. As for the latter, that tech is implemented in the trigger buttons, meaning they should never go mushy.

If you're after a simple but durable gamepad to use at your desk, this 8Bitdo is definitely worth a look. Not only does it have drift-free hall effect analog sticks, but base of the sticks also have RGB. It's a wired only affair, so unless you've got a big cord, it's probably not designed for couch play. This isn't the best price we've seen, because it was down to AU$47.96 earlier in the year.

The latter can be used for software-free customisation, and to receive notifications. I scored it a 90 / 100 in my review.

Black Friday 2025 FAQ

When was Black Friday 2025 in Australia?

Black Friday 2025 was on Friday, November 28, but a lot of retailers kicked off their Black Friday sales long in advance of that date.

Black Friday is less a day than it is a weekend: the sales generally continue through the weekend until Cyber Monday, which took place on December 1 in 2025.

Should you wait to buy until Black Friday?

There are always reasons to hold off on making a new purchase whenever you are thinking about making one. Whether it's the potential for a new generation of techie goodness on the horizon—either cutting prices on existing models or delivering tangible higher performance—or because there might be an imminent sale like Black Friday looming.

When picking out the early Black Friday PC gaming deals we take all of this into consideration, and where we think prices on something might significantly drop on the big day itself we simply won't recommend it. But all of the products here we either believe won't significantly drop much further in terms of their pricing, or are just good deals that we wouldn't hesitate recommending if you wanted to make a purchase today.

What should I avoid buying on Black Friday 2025?

Anything you don't need. It's distressingly easy to be duped into dropping cash on something just because there's a hefty discount attached to it… even though you have absolutely no use for it.

If you're considering making a purchase around Black Friday, have a plan of attack. That probably sounds needlessly aggressive, but you need to know what you actually want to buy first or you'll end up with no end of crap. Cheap crap, maybe, but crap nonetheless.

Do some research on the products you'd like to pick up in the sales (we offer detailed hardware buying guides), and maybe some alternatives in case those don't pop up. Set yourself a strict budget too.

Products like graphics cards and processors have obvious tiers (though the different companies work damned hard to make product names as confusing as possible), and SSDs have rated speeds, but for peripherals, it's tougher to tell from the specs whether they're worth the money. Checking for reviews, from such luminaries as ourselves, should guide you on your way.

Are there any Black Friday tips and tricks?

If you haven't already used it up during a credit card splurge around Amazon Prime Day, then you ought to take the opportunity to sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. That will get you early access to the Lightning Deals, and help you grab some of Jeff's best deals of the day.
