Let\u2019s face it — a new MacBook is expensive. MacBook upgrade program Upgraded offers a smarter way to stay up to date. Instead of paying the full price upfront, you spread the cost over 36 months, with the option to upgrade after 24 payments. Plus, you don\u2019t need to worry about selling your old device on a site like Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n

How Upgraded’s MacBook upgrade program works<\/h2>\n

Just pick the color and other specs you want.

  1. Pick the perfect MacBook for you.<\/strong> Choose an entry-level Air, a fully loaded Pro or even a custom configuration. AppleCare+ is always included.<\/li>\n
  2. Subscribe to low monthly payments.<\/strong> Upgraded spreads the cost over 36 months, but you have the option to upgrade your MacBook after 24 payments in this program.<\/li>\n
  3. Upgrade and repeat.<\/strong> After two years, choose a new MacBook, transfer your data, and send the old laptop back to Upgraded. The company will refurbish it, saving you the hassle of selling it yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you’re not ready to upgrade after two years, that’s fine. Just finish your remaining monthly payments and keep your MacBook after that.<\/p>\n

    “We want to make owning a great device as simple and affordable as possible,” said Upgraded co-founder John Erik Metcalf. “We\u2019re on a mission to improve human + computer performance, while keeping old laptops out of landfills.”<\/p>\n

    Upgraded works with trusted Apple partners. The program is financed through Citizens Pay, the same bank Apple uses for the iPhone Upgrade Program<\/a>. You can check if you’re eligible without impact to your credit.<\/p>\n

    For fast and reliable delivery, Upgraded works with GatorTec, an Apple Premier Partner, ensuring quick shipments from distribution centers nationwide.<\/p>\n

    Backed by Y Combinator, OpenAI President Greg Brockman and other notable investors, Upgraded has been helping customers upgrade and trade in their devices since 2017. This successful MacBook upgrade program already helped hundreds of thousands of customers upgrade through retailers in Europe — and now in the United States.<\/p>\n

    Upgraded\u2019s subscription starts at $33.28 for a MacBook Air and $52.17 for a MacBook Pro, with higher-spec configurations available. You can also order a MacBook with custom specs, perfect for those who need extra storage or a more powerful CPU — options not always available from traditional retailers.<\/p>\n

    With the new M4 chip<\/a> now available for both MacBook Air and Pro, there\u2019s never been a better time to try this MacBook upgrade program.<\/p>\n
