Sky is currently offering a significant discount on Apple’s MacBook products, a rare occurrence for the tech giant. The latest deal allows customers to acquire the new MacBook Air M4 for just £20 per month, with a minimal upfront fee of £2. This offer presents a cost-effective way to own these premium laptops by spreading out the payments over a 48-month contract.
In addition to the standard model, Sky provides options for higher memory and larger screen sizes. The 512GB version is available for £24 per month (previously £26) with a £12 upfront cost. For those looking for a larger display, the MacBook Air 15-inch M4 with 256GB storage is now priced at £24 per month (down from £26) with a £12 upfront payment.
While the Sky deal offers an attractive payment plan, it’s worth considering other options. Apple provides a £100 discount on the MacBook Air for university students. Alternatively, John Lewis sells the device for £899 and Amazon offers the M4 Air for £859.97, although these retailers require full upfront payment.
The MacBook Air M4 boasts significant upgrades, including the powerful M4 processor and 16GB of RAM for enhanced performance. It features an extended battery life of up to 18 hours, a high-quality screen, impressive sound, and a Force Touch trackpad. The laptop also includes MagSafe charging, a fingerprint scanner for security, and Apple Intelligence capabilities. Customers can choose from a variety of colors, including the new Sky Blue option.
Despite its strengths, the MacBook Air M4 has limitations such as the lack of post-purchase upgrade options, all ports located on one side, and potential cost increases for additional memory and storage. However, the affordable Sky deal for the base model with a 256GB hard drive makes owning a MacBook a more feasible option for budget-conscious consumers.
