If I buy a MacBook Pro from the Apple online store, Can I pay for example $50 one month and $50 the next month and $50 the month after that, and keep paying in increments until I pay it off? I know that you can do it if you buy a dell from the dell website, so can you do it with the apple website?

In the UK it is. I don't think you can in the US though.

Yes, http://store.apple.com/us/instant_credit

You will have to get a Barclaycard Financing Visa Card.

TheTechDude's answer is wrong unless you are a business. http://store.apple.com/us/instant_credit?mco=MTM3NDY3MDQ

The TechDude's answer is right. The Barclay's card is for individuals. Leasing options are for businesses only.

Note that it might hurt your credit score if you don't pay enough percentage every month and on time (if in the US, I don't know about other countries). For those amounts I would recommend paying in credit card in full or cash.

So here's the deal - Apple has partnered with Barclay to offer financing on new macs. You get a regular Visa card with a pretty high interest rate, but the interest on your iMac is deferred for 1 year. What that means is that if you pay off the whole balance in a year (about $100/month for a $1200 computer) you won't get an interest charge. If you don't pay off the whole thing, they charge the high interest from day 1.

It's a pretty sweet deal as long as you make your payments on time and pay everything off in a year.

You can apply in the online or physical stores. If approved, you can make the purchase right away, paying nothing up front.
