& Collect.

Thats especially useful for EOFY, where you need to actually take delivery of a laptop by the end of June 30 to be able to claim it on tax. Its also a
handy option day to day, like if your current machine is dying, or you need something before the new semester or a work trip, being able to check local stock and pick it up from a nearby store helps solve the issue right away.

JB Hi-Fi is also a good option after EOFY, as last year we saw further discounts in early July as they cleared out remaining stock on some excellent laptops.

For those who are yet to snag an EOFY upgrade, the Asus Zenbook A14 is a good option to consider if you want a very light laptop that still feels a little premium. Its down to AU$1,399 from AU$1,999, which is an AU$600 saving on a slim 14-inch OLED laptop with decent specs. Check out all JB Hi-Fi EOFY
laptop deals here Save 30% (AU$600) ASUS Zenbook A14 | X Plus / 16GB / 512GB SSD: was AU$1,999 now AU$1,399 at JB Hi-Fi In our review , we found this Snapdragon X-powered laptop to have impressive battery life and a vibrant
OLED display panel, all while in a sleek form factor that weighs just a
smidge under a kilogram. The main drawback was the price, especially the higher-end Snapdragon X Elite variant, so getting it on sale is ideal. Note that JB Hi-Fi lists it as discounted from AU$1,599, but that is the previous discounted price, and it was originally AU$1,999. View Deal The deal fixes
the biggest issue we had with the Zenbook A14: price. Our reviewer was a fan of the laptop, but found it too expensive at full price. Discounted to AU$1,399, its much easier to recommend if you want something light, long-lasting and nicer to use than a basic Windows machine.

Our Asus Zenbook A14 review gave it 4 stars, and the reasons are exactly why youd expect: great battery life, low weight and an above-average OLED screen. If you travel a lot or need a laptop for your commute to work, the
lightweight design is a major drawcard. In fact, our review says it was so light that I forgot it was in my bag, which is exactly what you want from a laptop youll carry every day.

The OLED screen is the other big selling point. You dont need to care about display specs to appreciate a better quality screen: text looks crisp, video has better contrast and the whole machine feels nicer to use than a basic laptop with dull colours or low resolution.

Battery life is another important practical reason to consider the Zenbook A14. Asus claims up to 32 hours of video playback, and in our own tests, it managed 17 hours and 16 minutes in PCMark 10 and 22 hours and 25 minutes in the TechRadar movie test. In other words, this is the kind of laptop you can use through a full workday and still use on the couch in the evening without looking for a charger.

Of course, its not perfect. This isnt the laptop Id buy for gaming, 4K video rendering or pro-level creative work, but we found it handled everyday multitasking well, including Photoshop while on a Teams call. The port selection is also limited, so consider a USB hub if you regularly plug in an external monitor, mouse, SD card reader or other desk accessories.

All in all, the appeal of the Zenbook A14 is pretty simple. Its thin, very light, has a lovely OLED screen and doesnt need to live close to a charger.
At the original AU$1,999 price, it was just too expensive for what you got. But at AU$1,399, it makes much more sense as a daily laptop for study, work, travel or general use.
