Want to buy a MacBook and pay monthly? Apple fans love staying current. But when it comes to MacBooks, upgrading isn’t always easy. Base models at big box stores can feel underpowered. Reselling is a pain. And dropping $2,000-plus upfront? Not ideal.

That’s why more people are switching to Upgraded, a MacBook installment plan that starts at just $33.28 per month. It lets you customize your machine’s specs, and offers an easy upgrade every two years.

No resale headaches. No massive upfront cost. Just the Mac you want, when you want it.

Powered by Affirm: Now smoother than ever

Upgraded just announced a new partnership with Affirm, one of the most trusted names in consumer credit. That means:

  • No hard credit checks
  • No late fees
  • 0% APR options available for qualified buyers

The checkout process is simple, fast and fully transparent. No confusing terms, no surprises. It’s the kind of financing experience that feels as polished as the MacBook itself, with monthly pay options that take the sting out of buying high-end laptops.

“With Affirm, we’re making MacBooks more accessible through a financing experience that’s actually user-friendly, and we’re building the upgrade experience we always wished existed,” said John Erik Metcalf, co-founder and CEO of Upgraded.

Save your cash flow instead of buying outright

Upgraded isn’t a lease; you actually own the device. It’s designed for people who love their Mac and prefer to manage their money wisely. The easy upgrades make this MacBook monthly pay plan perfect for creatives, coders, students and professionals alike.

Compared to competitors:

  • You get longer terms (36 months, not 12 or 18)
  • You can upgrade every 2 years
  • There’s no need to sell your old device
  • You keep your monthly payments lower (as low as $33.28/mo)

And unlike some plans that let you pay monthly for a MacBook, there’s no balloon payment at the end. The upgrade process is built in, and you’re always in control.
