I’m not sure life gets much better than the moment when you’re a kid and you unwrap your prezzies on Christmas morning.

Or Christmas Eve, because every family has their own set of traditions.

If I had to find an adult equivalent, it might be the moment you tear open the box that contains your new laptop, and you can finally kiss your clunky old machine goodbye.

For fans of MacBooks (who isn’t?), February is a good time to get your hands on a new machine, because Digicape’s ‘MacMadness’ promotion runs until February 29.

A leap year, which means you have one whole extra day to pull the trigger.

It’s pretty simple – enter the code ‘MacMadness’ at checkout and save an extra R1 000 on the purchase of any new Mac, and the offer is valid both in-store and online.

MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros, Mac Minis and iMacs – take your pick and save an extra grand.

We should also mention that you can then trade in your old devices, like MacBooks, iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches, for store credit to use on your purchase.

There’s no limit on how many devices you can trade-in, so raid that bedside drawer and dig for gold.

Finally, for the students out there, as well as teachers, lecturers, faculty staff members or permanent employees at Universities and Colleges, Digicape’s education special offers the chance to save up to R6 000 on MacBooks and other goods.

Starting off the academic year with a slick new machine may help ease the pain of moulding young minds or, on the flip side, returning to class and assignments and all the other joys of being a student.

Don’t you dare complain, because that’s the easiest life will ever be.
