And for power users, upgrading every couple of years isn\u2019t a luxury. It\u2019s a necessity. That\u2019s where Upgraded, and its clever way to finance MacBooks, comes in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Upgraded was created by a former startup CTO who got tired of the hassle of flipping old MacBooks on Facebook Marketplace just to keep his setup current.

No problem.<\/p>\r\n<p>That makes Upgraded&#8217;s program ideal for users with deep workflows, heavy app stacks or multiple VMs. AppleCare+ comes included by default. And when it\u2019s time to upgrade, Upgrade will ship you a box, handle a secure wipe once they receive your old machine, and then refurbish it so someone else can put it to good use.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"29\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_29\" class=\"wp-caption post-body-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook.jpeg\" data-lasso-id=\"1641760959\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-898757\" title=\"Woman using MacBook\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook.jpeg\" alt=\"Woman sitting at a table, using a MacBook \" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook.jpeg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook-350x233.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook-768x512.jpeg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook-1020x680.jpeg.webp 1020w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook@2x.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Woman-using-MacBook-400x267@2x.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_29\" class=\"wp-caption-text\" style=\"border-color: #2470a3;\">Get the Mac you need without a gigantic upfront payment.<br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;font-size:11px\">Photo: Upgraded<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<h3>This Mac upgrade program is not just easier &#8212; it\u2019s financially smarter to finance MacBooks<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here&#8217;s how it works. Take a typical 14-inch MacBook Pro with 32GB RAM and AppleCare+. Buying direct from Apple would cost &#36;2,278 upfront. With Upgraded, you pay &#36;63.28 per month.<\/p>\r\n<p>That&#8217;s the same total cost, but spread out (and interest-free). And when you finance your MacBook, you can invest the cash you would&#8217;ve dropped upfront on software licenses, backup drives or even a high-yield savings account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cPay over time and put the rest to work for you,\u201d says Upgraded CEO John Erik Metcalf. \u201cYou could earn 4% on money you\u2019d otherwise spend all at once.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Powered by industry-leading partners<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Upgraded sources hardware from GatorTec, an Apple Premier Partner, and uses Citizens Bank for payment plans. (Sound familiar? That&#8217;s the same bank Apple partnered with for its very similar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/apples-new-upgrade-program-will-keep-you-addicted-to-iphone\" data-lasso-id=\"1641760948\">iPhone Upgrade Program<\/a>.)<\/p>\r\n<p>Upgraded&#8217;s MacBook upgrade program is also backed by startup veterans, including OpenAI\u2019s Greg Brockman and the Y Combinator accelerator.
