All The Reasons It's Worth Investing In Apple Tech For University

With the new academic year just around the corner, you may be on the hunt for some shiny new tech to get you through your studies… 

Whether you’re in the market for a speedy and reliable laptop or the latest tablet, Apple has everything you could possibly need to support you throughout your university years and beyond. 

We all know just how popular Apple products are amongst university students - it’s almost a status symbol at this point… But for good reason! 

Sure, you can walk into your lecture with a good old humble pen and notepad, but it’s not a MacBook is it? And imagine trying to keep up with all that note-taking by hand… no thanks! 

Apple tech is renowned for both its quality and design, with product longevity being one of the things that makes the brand stand out from competition. This means your tech is likely to last for far longer than your university years, making it well worth the investment. 

But if that’s not enough to convince you, here are some more reasons you should consider investing…

1. Buy a Mac or iPad between now and 21/10/24 and get a gift card worth up to £120

If you want to get yourself some Apple tech but your bank balance is putting you off, how does a gift card worth up to £120 sound to help soften the blow?

If you purchase a Mac or an iPad between now and the 21st October 2024 (conveniently you’ll have received your student loan by then), you’ll get a gift card worth up to £120 to spend on all the accessories you need - whether that’s a case to protect your brand new MacBook, a portable speaker, or a new Apple Pencil for your iPad. 

2. Protect your Mac or iPad with 20% off AppleCare+

You’ll also get a whopping 20% off AppleCare+ which will give you extra peace of mind in the event that anything unfortunate happens! 

Accident-prone students - this is an absolute must… 

AppleCare+ provides 24/7 priority tech support and hardware coverage, accidental damage protection and battery service coverage as well as providing an extended warranty! This means you’ll be protected from any accidental spills, drops or other unforeseen accidents… 

You’ll also have the option to upgrade to AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss (which pretty much does what it says on the tin - you’ll be protected for up to two incidents of theft or loss coverage every 12 months!) 

3. Get the Apple Music Student Plan with free Apple TV+ - All your favourite songs and shows available at a reduced rate

Want to listen to your favourite artists and stream Apple TV+ originals for less? With the Apple Music Student Plan, you’ll get access to millions of songs with the added bonus of a free Apple TV+ subscription at a reduced price!

Enjoy your favourite tunes and TV shows all in one place, and take advantage of the full Apple Music experience, including personalised playlists, offline listening and exclusive content, plus access to a growing library of Apple TV+ originals such as Ted Lasso, Severance and Black Bird. 

4. Get the Pro Apps Bundle for £199.99 - A collection of industry-leading tools including Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and more

If you’re looking to tackle creative projects with ease, you’ll want to invest in Apple’s Pro Apps bundle - it’s an absolute dream for film, music, design and any other creative course students! This bundle includes top-tier software such as Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Motion, Compressor and MainStage, offering a comprehensive suite for video editing, music production and more.

So whether you’re a part-time content creator or a full-time graphic design student, we’d highly recommend making the most of this bundle deal from Apple! 

5. Apple tech lightens any course load

One thing you should know about Apple tech - and particularly the MacBook Air - is that it’s super lightweight and portable, making this the ideal laptop for university. 

Whether you have a long commute or have to do lots of walking across campus to get to different lecture theatres, the last thing you’ll want is to be carrying around a bulky, heavy laptop. 

But with the MacBook Air, this won’t be an issue! 

6. Customisable Mac

A particularly strong selling point for students (in case you needed any more justification for splashing out on some Apple tech) is that any Apple Mac can be customised to meet your specific needs and preferences! 

This means you can choose the memory, storage, graphics and colour that is best suited to your performance requirements and budget, and you can guarantee that your Mac will be equipped with everything you need.

Depending on the course you’re studying, you might need a laptop with significantly more memory than a casual user - for example if you’re a videography or graphic design student who is constantly saving and exporting large files! 

So having the option to completely customise your laptop to suit your needs is a major win.
