How to Buy a Laptop from laptop.com.au
Updated
You can buy a laptop from laptop.com.au entirely online: browse the cheap laptop categories or the full range, add a machine to your cart, and check out through the site's account system. The store sells refurbished, used and ex-demo laptops, ships free by express post Australia wide, and backs machines with a 1 year warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee. The steps below follow the navigation and account features shown on the site.
Before You Start
- Know what you're buying. The catalogue is built around cheap refurbished/used laptops and bargain ex-demo laptops, not new retail stock. Each listing states the condition context through the site's own categories and product descriptions.
- Check the specs in the listing title. Listings pack the key details into the product name, for example: processor and speed, RAM, storage type and size, screen size and resolution, and operating system.
- Decide on screen size first. The main categories are 13", 14", 15" and 17-inch laptops, plus Apple MacBooks, gaming/CAD-enabled machines and touch screen laptops.
- Note the buying protections. A 1 year warranty, 30 day money back guarantee and free express post are stated on the homepage.
Step 1: Browse the Range
Use the category menu to narrow down, or go straight to the full list.
| Path | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Cheap Laptops (All) | The complete cheap laptop range |
| 13" / 14" / 15" / 17-inch Laptops | Filter by screen size |
| Apple MacBooks | MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13, MacBook Pro 15 Retina |
| Gaming & CAD Enabled Machines | Higher-spec machines for gaming or design work |
| Touch Screen Laptops | Touch-enabled models |
| Accessories | Cases, storage, mice, MS Office, printers |
The homepage also surfaces Featured Laptops and a View All Laptops link. The site notes it lists more cheap laptops daily, so the full range is worth rechecking if your first pass comes up short.
Step 2: Read the Listing and Add to Cart
Each product card shows the machine's configuration and price, with an Add to Cart button. Examples from the current listings:
- Acer Aspire A315-41 — AMD Ryzen 3 3.20GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15.6" HD, Win11 — $199.00
- Dell Vostro 15 3000 — Core i5-10210U, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15.6" FHD, Win11 — $349.00
- MSI CX62 6QD — Quad Core i7-6700HQ, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 15.6" FHD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 940MX, Win10 — $499.00
- HP EliteDesk 800 G1 USDT — i7 4790s, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Win 11 Pro — $189.00
Prices shown are the listed prices at the time of writing; confirm the current price on the product page before buying. Click Add to Cart on the model you want.
Step 3: Review Your Cart and Check Out
The header carries a Shopping Cart link with an item counter and running total (for example, "0 item(s) - $0.00" when empty). Open the cart to confirm the machine and quantity, then proceed to Checkout. You'll need an account to complete the order — the site provides My Account, Register and Login links in the header.
Step 4: Delivery
Laptops are delivered with FREE EXPRESS POST Australia wide (the homepage flags this as a limited-time offer). The site also advertises "fast secure delivery." No delivery timeframes are stated on the page, so treat the express post label as the shipping method rather than a guaranteed arrival date.
After You Order: Account Features
Once registered, the account area gives you:
- Order History — track and review past purchases
- Wish List — save machines you're considering (the header shows a wish list counter)
- Newsletter — subscribe for stock and offer updates
