How to Get a Brand New MacBook (Even a Custom Build) for One Low Monthly Price

The Cost-Friendly MacBook Upgrade Plan That’s Built for Power Users

If you’re a MacBook lover, you know it makes you superhuman. But for professionals and power users, the device you need can range anywhere from $1,000-$6,000. If you’re looking for a smarter way to buy, Upgraded makes it easy and affordable with one low monthly subscription.

Built by Apple lovers, for Apple lovers:

Apple has long offered their iPhone upgrade program. But there’s no equivalent for MacBooks. Until now. John, the founder of Upgraded, used to constantly buy MacBooks to keep up with demands from his work. He tried to resell old devices on Facebook Marketplace, but it was slow, tiring, and constantly messaging buyers distracted him from the rest of life. He thought, “Why isn’t there an easy way to get the latest MacBook?”


With Upgraded, you can spread the cost of your MacBook over 36 months at 0% interest, with the flexibility to upgrade every 24 months if you choose. When it’s time to upgrade, they’ll send you a box for your old device, making the process seamless. Simply transfer your data, ship it back, and they’ll handle the rest. Their team performs an FBI-grade data wipe, refurbishes the device, and gives it a new life. Plus, AppleCare+ is included, providing peace of mind and ensuring your device is protected no matter what happens.


Made with power users in mind:

Upgraded offers custom builds not typically available at traditional retailers. So if you need a MacBook Pro with 128 GB of RAM and 8 TB of storage, you can get it and pay it off over time instead of all upfront.

For example, a designer who wants a MacBook Pro 14” with 32 GB RAM and AppleCare+ would pay $2,278 on Apple. But that same device would be $63.28/mo with Upgraded ($2,278 total, spread out over 36 months). Instead of paying all at once, they could put that extra cash into accessories, marketing for their services, or software to make their job easier.


“What I always recommend to customers is: Pay over time, and stick the rest of the money you would have spent in a high yield savings account. You can earn about 4% on money that would otherwise be gone.” Says co-founder John Erik.

Trusted expert partners:

Upgraded collaborates with industry experts to ensure an exceptional experience. Financing is handled by Citizens Bank, the trusted provider behind Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Program. Devices are sourced through GatorTec, an Apple Premier Partner, guaranteeing top-quality products and service.


They’re backed by experts in the tech industry, like OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, Gmail founder Paul Buchheit, and startup accelerator Y Combinator.

An effortless journey from start to finish

As a team of Apple lovers, designers, and developers, Upgraded set out to build the most seamless, customer-centric company possible. As one customer said “Honestly I couldn’t ask for a more Apple like experience from a company that isn’t Apple”. They eliminate friction to make the purchasing, financing, and upgrading process as simple as possible.

The Cost-Friendly MacBook Upgrade Plan That’s Built for Power Users

Get started with Upgraded’s subscription plans from $33.28 for MacBook Air or $52.17 for MacBook Pro. Plus, customize your laptop with upgraded specs for extra storage or processing power – options you might not find elsewhere.

With the launch of the new M4 chip for both the MacBook Air and Pro, there’s no better time to elevate your tech experience.
