Tech lovers can spread the cost of the newest MacBook Air and Samsung's best tablet on the market on Sky
For shoppers who want some of the latest tech but want to spread the cost, there are ways to ensure they stay up-to-date with the latest MacBook Air, Galaxy Tabs, and other devices without paying full price at once.
We have been covering many Sky deals that allow shoppers to spread the cost, including some great deals that offer huge amounts of cashback. Prices start from £22 a month and drop to as low as £5 a month for certain tablets, making them perfect if paying for devices outright seems slightly out of reach.
We've listed all the products Sky is offering so shoppers can be more informed about which products they can get. One thing to consider is that Sky contracts do have a large 36 to 48-month contract length, so make sure buyers consider that before they purchase.
Here's a quick rundown of all the tech you can grab, by splitting the price into monthly payments.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+
Sky launched its 'lowest price ever' on the Galaxy Tab A9+ plan. The device costs less than £200 to buy outright at retailers like Amazon, but not everyone will want to pay that much upfront.
Amazon currently has it on sale for £160, but Sky's plan offers a decent alternative for splitting the cost into what feels like more affordable payments each month. The 11-inch screen tablet is being dished out on Sky for £5 a month, thanks to a new deal by the TV and broadband provider.
There are alternatives to consider, however. Shoppers could spend a bit more on the Samsung Galaxy S9 FE for £449, complete with a free S Pen. Alternatively, for £17 a month, Apple fans can get the 11-inch iPad Air device with the new M3 chip.
Shoppers have fallen in love with the tablet, with stellar reviews on Amazon and other retailers.
One shopper said: "I bought this as a companion for my Pixel phone, mostly for watching movies at home while the kids monopolise the TV. I have noticed that while at home, I'm now doing most things on it as when connected to my phone it sends texts (WhatsApp and normal texts) and makes WhatsApp calls.
But one shopper added: "I was not overly impressed with the display, and some video is not very 'bright', but overall the A9 is ok, and it is a Samsung, so I know the build is good quality."
Apple MacBook Air with M4 chip
Sky is offering the device at £22 per month. This 48-month contract includes the MacBook Air with Apple's fastest and latest chip and a storage capacity of 256 GB.
It comes with the latest M4 chip promises smooth performance for all your needs, boasting up to 18 hours of battery life and built-in Apple Intelligence to help users accomplish tasks effortlessly. Customers have a choice of four stunning colours, including Sky Blue, Midnight and Silver.
Shoppers want to hunt around for other deals, there are plenty of things to choose from. Argos currently has a special offer on this Acer Aspire i5 laptop for £549 for Windows fans. Meanwhile, Apple users can get a refurbished M2 MacBook Air from BackMarket for £731.
Tech experts at the Daily Express reviewed the M4 MacBook Air earlier in March, and to say they were impressed would be an understatement- they awarded it a full five stars.
However, tech editor David Snelling noted: "Yes, it's a bit of a shame that you only get two USB-C ports on one side of the device. Although it starts from a cheaper £999, it can get expensive if you start adding extras."
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra
Sky is allowing shoppers who don't want to spend more than £1,000 at once on the newest Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra to spread the cost down to £30 a month, with £300 cashback to be claimed as well.
Samsung has launched its Shine Bright campaign, which means shoppers who buy certain products can also get a big chunk of cash in their accounts. After buying certain products, Samsung fans just have to go here and claim their £300 cashback.
If this Sky deal seems tempting, shoppers can buy the tablet here, then go to Samsung's promotional page here and log a claim. Although the claim window closes on June 24.
Samsung is also offering £100 cashback on the Galaxy Watch Ultra, meaning this Amazon purchase will cost £399. Samsung is also handing out £200 cashback on the Galaxy S25 Ultra phone f rom Samsung here, including £200 trade-in credit on old phones.
The team at the Daily Express reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra model right here and sung its praises. As David Snelling said: "Is the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra a brilliant tablet? 100% yes!
But he did note: "No matter how good it is, that 14.6-inch panel is just too big for me, especially when travelling, and that's important as this is the time, like most people, when I use my tablet the most."
