Sky is currently offering a deal on the latest MacBook Air M4, allowing customers to pay just £20 per month with a minimal upfront fee of £2. By opting for this contract, buyers can enjoy significant savings compared to purchasing directly from Apple, where the same MacBook Air M4 model costs £999. The contract spans 48 months, resulting in a total cost of £962, making it a more affordable option.
In addition to the standard model, Sky provides upgraded versions with more memory and larger screens. The 512GB version is now available for £24 per month with a £12 upfront cost, down from the previous price of £26 per month. For those seeking a larger display, the MacBook Air 15-inch M4 (2025) with 256GB storage is offered at £24 per month with a £12 upfront fee.
While Sky’s offer provides a convenient payment plan, it’s worth considering other deals available in the market. Apple is currently offering a £100 discount for students purchasing the MacBook Air. Alternatively, retailers like John Lewis and Amazon offer the device at lower prices, though requiring full upfront payment.
The MacBook Air M4 features notable upgrades, including the powerful M4 processor and 16GB of RAM for enhanced performance. It boasts an extended battery life of up to 18 hours, a high-resolution screen, quality sound, and a Force Touch trackpad. Additional features like MagSafe charging, a fingerprint scanner for security, and Apple Intelligence are included. The laptop is available in a new Sky Blue color, joining the existing Midnight, Silver, and Starlight options.
Express.co.uk highlights a few drawbacks in its MacBook Air M4 review, such as limited upgrade options post-purchase, all ports located on one side, and potential high costs for extra memory and storage upgrades. Despite these criticisms, the base model with a 256GB hard drive remains a solid choice, especially with Sky’s affordable monthly payment option.
