A fresh approach to owning a MacBook is here. With Upgraded’s subscription service, you can enjoy the latest MacBook every two years without the hefty upfront cost. Starting at just $36.06 per month for a MacBook Air and $52.17 for a MacBook Pro with AppleCare+ included, this service keeps you updated with the newest models seamlessly. Interest rates start at 0% and vary based on your credit score. You can check out all available models at getupgraded.com.

Instead of paying the full price upfront, Upgraded lets you spread the cost over 36 monthly payments, with an option to upgrade after 24 months. The process is simple:

  1. Choose your new MacBook: Find the right MacBook for you, check out, and quickly check if you’re eligible without impact to your credit score.
  2. Enjoy low monthly payments and peace of mind: The upgrade program is financed by Citizens Pay, and your MacBook is protected by AppleCare+.
  3. Upgrade and start over in 24 months: Order a new MacBook, transfer your data, and send the old one back to Upgraded. They handle everything from cleaning and wiping your old device to finding it a new home, saving you the hassle of selling it yourself. If you’re not ready to upgrade, you also have the option to just continue paying for the remaining 12 months and keep your MacBook.

“Our mission is to grow participation in the circular economy,” said John Erik Metcalf, Upgraded’s co-founder and CEO. “We’re starting with brand-new MacBooks, but eventually we’ll have other products that are both new and used.”

Upgraded also collaborates with Apple Premier Partner GatorTec for providing the laptops, ensuring a reliable and trustworthy service. Launched in Sweden in 2017, Upgraded is funded by Y Combinator and works with some of Europe’s largest retailers.
