We know, we know: heading back to school isn't that much fun, but that doesn't mean it isn't a chance to take a long hard look at that old Windows laptop you've had for years and maybe, just maybe, upgrade to fresher things. And, as if by magic, Apple has a bunch of wicked deals on its MacBook range.
By now, we probably don't have to tell you that much about the MacBooks on offer because they're super well known and beloved by many. In fact, the biggest thing Apple themselves have to offer isn't even to do with the MacBook or iPad: each purchase gets you a brand new pair of AirPods when you use your UNiDAYS account.
What Apple offers is simple: verified UK students – and that's from secondary on up – can save up to 20% on hardware (think MacBook, iMac, iPad), with a free pair of AirPods and up to 20% off AppleCare+. So, for example, a brand new MacBook Air ends up costing £899, not the usual £999.
But if the Apple deals aren't doing it for you, Currys and Amazon are also offering discounts on the latest and great Apple kit, giving you a saving of over £50, albeit without the AirPods thrown in.
It's worth noting that the deals we've featured below are just a sample: Currys and Amazon are also offering a variety of different models – many of them more expensive and higher-specced – with money off. If you're looking for a desktop-in-laptop-clothing, now is the time to take the plunge.
So, if you're off to school in September and feel like you need to upgrade your setup, now is a pretty good time to do so. We promise you won't regret getting a Mac, whether it's your first or tenth.
