Sky is currently offering a rare discount on Apple’s MacBook products, with significant price reductions on contract deals. For just £20 per month, you can now get the latest MacBook Air M4, with only a £2 upfront fee, making these premium PCs more affordable with a spread-out payment plan.
Although a 48-month contract is required, the total cost adds up to just £962, which is cheaper than purchasing directly from Apple at £999 for the MacBook Air M4. Sky also provides options for higher memory and larger screen sizes, such as the 512GB version for £24 per month and the 15-inch M4 model for the same price, both with a £12 upfront cost.
For those seeking even better deals, Apple offers a £100 discount to university students, while John Lewis sells the device for £899 and Amazon stocks the M4 Air at £859.97. However, these retailers require full upfront payment.
The MacBook Air features the new M4 processor, providing enhanced speed and capability, along with 16GB of RAM. It boasts an impressive battery life of up to 18 hours, a sharp display, quality sound, and a top-notch Force Touch trackpad. Additional features include MagSafe charging, a fingerprint scanner for security, and Apple Intelligence. The laptop is available in a new Sky Blue color, joining Midnight, Silver, and Starlight options.
Critics point out limitations such as the lack of post-purchase upgrade options, all ports being on one side, and potential cost increases with memory and storage upgrades. However, for those content with the base 256GB version, Sky’s current deal makes owning a MacBook more financially manageable on a monthly basis.
