The news of these latest offers comes as Apple has just announced a refresh to its popular MacBook laptops.
The upgrade comes to the MacBook Pro which is now faster thanks to an 8th-generation Intel Core processor.
Apple is boasting that this boost will make the 15-inch model up to 70 percent faster with the 13-inch model getting two times faster performance.
Additional updates include support for up to 32GB of memory and a True Tone display.
These new laptops also have an improved third-generation keyboard which Apple says will make typing on the laptop quieter than before.
“The latest generation MacBook Pro is the fastest and most powerful notebook we’ve ever made,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.
“Now with 8th-generation 6-core processors, up to 32GB of system memory, up to 4TB of super fast SSD storage, new True Tone technology in its Retina display and Touch Bar, the Apple T2 chip for enhanced security and a third-generation quieter keyboard packed into its thin and light aluminium design with all-day battery life, it’s the best notebook for pro users.”
