Best cheap VPN Deals: The cheapest VPNs for Mac, iPhone or iPad
Macworld If you want to unblock regional content on streaming services like Netflix, iPlayer, and Prime, or access websites that aren’t available in your region, a VPN is an essential tool. VPN services can also give you online privacy as well as letting you securely connect to open Wi-Fi networks in cafes, hotels, airports and other places. We can help you find the cheapest VPN to suit your needs. Choosing which VPN service to subscribe to can be difficult and this is compounded by the fact that there are so many offers and discounts. That’s where we come in. All of the services you’ll find below are ones we’d use ourselves – and we do so daily. We’ll let you know the latest prices and best deals so you can find the VPN that suites you at the best price. Read How to use a VPN on a Mac for more information, and if you still aren’t sure why you need a VPN read: Should I use a VPN on my Mac/iPhone? Best VPN deals right now All these deals save a significant amount compared to paying for each of these services on a rolling monthly subscription. VPN providers tend to offer year-round discounts, however there are some deals that mean you won’t be locked into a monthly fee, or at least not one that will expire soon. Here are two of the best examples: One deal to take a look at is FastestVPN’s Lifetime plan – which with 93% off makes it an absolute bargain as you pay once and have access to the VPN for life. It’s a one-off $40 (approx £33) and the company says that the full price would be $600. We have plenty more deals below. Note that many of the deals lock you in for a year or two years after which you can end up paying a lot more, so check out the advertised monthly price. We recommend setting a reminder in your calendar to cancel and look for a new deal to replace the one you had at the end of the contract period. Best free VPN There are a few free VPNs on offer but our advice is usually to be very cautious about them. Companies that give stuff away will be making money somehow, and you can’t be sure they aren’t selling your data. One decent VPN that does offer a free tier is Proton VPN (read our review). You can use Proton VPN for nothing, as long as you’re happy with U.S., Japan, and Netherlands as your server locations. It’s also limiting in that you can only connect a single device, and speeds are slower than the paid plans, but the free version is available on all platforms and if you like it you can always subscribe to get the whole package which will unblock a host of features, including an ad and tracker blocker and improved speed of up to 10 Gbit, as well as an expanded 10-device limit. There’s Port Forwarding for downloads and gaming, too, as well as a Kill Switch for disconnecting should the VPN drop out. Get Proton VPN free Best cheap VPNs for Mac We’re reviewed all these services in our round-up of the best VPNs for Mac. Below you will find details of the best deals available currently for each of the major VPN providers – these deals change all the time. Most VPNs cost less than $5/£5 per month, with some less than $3/£3. There are even some free VPNs, but these are usually very limited and could be collecting data about you. The ones we share here are generally around $3/£3 a month or less. Here are our top recommendations for Mac VPNs: NordVPN: The Basic plan is $3.59/£2.79 a month for 2 years + 3 months. Surfshark: This month the Starter plan is $2.19/£1.69 a month for 2 years + 3 free months. CyberGhost: Get 84% off. This month’s deal is $2.03/£1.78 a month for 2 years with 4 free months. Private Internet Access: Right now this is 86% off. It’s $2.03/£1.57 a month for 2 years + 4 free months. As we said above, just remember to take a note of the renewal date when you start a subscription so that you can cancel it before you get charged the full price. NordVPN Read our review Price When Reviewed: Basic plan from $3.59 a month for two years + 3 free months. Usually $12.99. Best Prices Today: $3.39 at NordVPN Prices change all the time. In September 2024 the Basic plan is $3.59/£2.79 a month for 2 years + 3 months. Surfshark Read our review Price When Reviewed: Starter plan from $2.19 a month for two years + 3 free months.

CyberGhost Read our review Price When Reviewed: $2.03 a month for two years + 2 free months. Usually $12.99 a month. Best Prices Today: $2.19 at CyberGhos In September 2024 you can get 84% off. This is $2.03/£1.78 a month for 2 years with 4 free months. Normally $56.94/£49.92 a year. It’s fully refundable for 45 days, according to the company. ProtonVPN Read our review Price When Reviewed: From $4.49 a month for two years. Usually $9.99 a month. Best Prices Today: $4.49 at Proton Technologies There is a free tier of Proton VPN, but if you want a bit more flexibility and a few more features prices start at $4.49/€4.49 a month for two years. Usually $9.99/€9.99 a month. The Swiss-based company doesn’t seem to like pounds, so it’s dollars or euros, unfortunately. Another cheap VPNs to consider is hide.me. hide.me VPN Read our review Price When Reviewed: From $3 a month for 1 years + 3 free months. Usually $9.95 a month. Best Prices Today: $3 at Hide.Me How to find the best VPN deal for Mac VPN subscriptions typically work out cheaper if you commit for a year or longer, which saves a lot of money. Prices rarely exceed $6/£6 per month with multi-year subscriptions and are often closer to $2/£2… or even less. Many major VPN providers offer discounts through the year, and sometimes even offer permanent discounts. These discounts can look impressive at first. It’s not uncommon to see a countdown timer telling you when the deal ends – but these are almost always to induce FOMO – the fear of missing out – in order to persuade you to sign up immediately. Large discounts are par for the course with VPN services, especially when you’re subscribing for several years. This makes it all the more important to look into the various providers and what each has to offer, before jumping into a long-term commitment. All VPNs we’ve tested offer cross-device coverage too, so you can use them on your Mac, iPhone, iPad and more. We’ve separately rounded up the best iPhone VPNs and iPad VPNs.

Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W 3-Port GaN Fast Charger review: Small yet powerful USB-C charger
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating ProsCompact dimensionsHigh charging speedGreat price-performance ratioConsFixed power allocation to the connectionsSignificant heating at full power with two devicesSensitive housingOur VerdictThe Nexode Pro 100W 3-Port GaN Fast Charger has an attractive shape, compact dimensions, sufficient power, and a good price. Price When Reviewed$74.99 Best Prices Today: Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W Retailer Price $63.74 View Deal Ugreen $74.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Thanks to its use of GaN technology, the Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W 3-Port GaN Fast Charger is 45 percent smaller than the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter–the U.S. model of the Nexode Pro measures 2.8 by 1.7 by 1.3 inches (7.1 by 4.3 by 3.3cm). The U.K. and E.U. models are slightly longer due to the dimensions of the three-prong plug. The size isn’t all that’s different; the Nexode Pro has an angular look with dark gray housing, though it’s a bit scratch-sensitive. It might be a better match for a MacBook than Apple’s white power adapter. The Nexode Pro has USB ports available for charging, labeled USB-C 1, USB-C 2, and USB-A. The more powerful USB-C 1 is specially labeled with a symbol for a laptop. A maximum of 100W is only available at this connection if no other device is connected. Fast charging of the 14-inch MacBook Pro is possible via this connection, although the 16-inch model requires 140W for fast charging. Ugreen Ugreen Ugreen Ugreen claims a charging speed of 50 percent after 27 minutes for the 14-inch MacBook Pro. I didn’t have that laptop for testing; instead, I used a 15-inch M3 Macbook Air M3 with the charger and measured a 63 percent battery increase after 30 minutes. The Nexode Pro also changed the iPhone and iPad Pro very quickly. I was able to charge an iPhone 15 by 52 percent, and the 11-inch iPad Pro by 35 percent points in half an hour each. Ugreen Ugreen Ugreen If more than one device is connected, the charging power of 100W is distributed across the ports. USB-C 1 can output 65W and USB-C 2 up to 30W, or USB-C 2 up to 30W and USB-A 22.5W. A variety of charging protocols such as Power Delivery 3.0, PPS 5A and QC 4.0 are supported. When three devices are connected to the charger at the same time, it is incomprehensible that USB-C 2 and USB-A have to share 15 watts. One reason could be that when full power is required the increased temperature combined with the compact dimensions takes its toll. The temperature remains pleasingly low with only one connected device, such as a MacBook Air. The Nexode Pro also protects against over-voltage, overcurrent, overheating, and short circuits. Should you buy the Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W 3-Port GaN Fast Charger? The Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W 3-Port GaN Fast Charger looks good and offers impressive charging speeds at a reasonable price. It would be the perfect charger if the housing were more durable and if you didn’t have to look carefully at the connections before plugging in a device due to the fixed allocation of output power. Take a look at alternative USB-C chargers for Mac and USB-C chargers for iPhone in our review round-ups. This article originally appeared on Macwelt and was translated by Roman Loyola.

Picture your hard drive failing, or accidentally formatting over your critical work files, and you become no more graceful than a flailing Muppet running back and forth, screaming, waving your arms, and wondering exactly how you’re going to get everything back. This is where Stellar Data Recovery for Mac comes in, the app focusing on recovering data via standard scans, deep scans, drive image creation, and other recovery tools. The software, which requires macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or later to install and run, is available as a free trial.

A good scan management engine allows previous scans to be saved and worked from, and an image creation feature allows you to readily create a byte-for-byte image of a volume that can be restored from later, albeit you’ll need ample disk space for this, as the process encompasses the entire volume and not just the critical files you might be looking to work with later.

Leather Sleeve from Manuel Dreesman review
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating ProsGood quality and uniqueConsGaps at the bottom make it less waterproofOur VerdictThere are cheaper and more protective options, but if you appreciate quality it’s a good choice with a unique quality due to the nature of the business. Price When Reviewed$197 Best Prices Today: Manuel Dreesmann Leather Case Retailer Price Manuel Dreesman $197 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket In some ways the modern working-from-home trend means we don’t need to think about protecting our MacBooks as much, since they tend to stay put on a desk at home. But on those occasions when we need to cart a laptop into the office, pack it in a suitcase, or add it to carry-on luggage, the need to protect it from bumps and scrapes should be paramount. Too many times I’ve wrapped my laptop in a towel inside a suitcase, or dropped it into a rucksack and risked it not being protected. Sure, I could buy a bag designed for laptops, but they are often huge, bulky and heavy. So I end up slotting it in my usual bag and jumping on a train. What’s the worst that can happen… Given the amount of money we spend on our Macs this approach is crazy. So when I had the opportunity to try out the Leather Sleeve from Manuel Dreesmann just before going on vacation it seemed like a good idea. Take a look at our round-up of the best cases and bags for MacBook. The Leather Sleeve from Manuel Dreesman isn’t cheap at $197/£153/€175, but you get luxury MacBook protection. It’s a slim leather sleeve that the MacBook slots into. I tried the 13-inch MacBook Air version, but there’s a sleeve for every current MacBook size, and the company says they can make a sleeve for any laptop. Manuel Dreesman is an independent atelier of handcrafted leather products, based in Barcelona, Spain. It ships all over the world. Sliding it in at first was a bit tight, but it got easier over time, leather being one of those materials that gets softer with use. Of course, the fit does need to be on the tight side as you wouldn’t want the MacBook to fall out or move around inside. Mine is one of the older style MacBook Air with a tapered edge, the newer 13-inch MacBook Air would probably not be as tough to slide into the case. Foundry Foundry Foundry The sleeve comes in a range vegetable-tanned leather colors. We tested the tan version, but there’s also black, cream, red, green, blue, orange, light blue and light green on offer. Leather is a good choice for a case like this, but it’s an expensive choice. You could opt for a cheaper fabric case, but leather is more durable and waterproof than fabric. It won’t suffer from wear and tear. Another option is silicon, which can be durable but can also wear and degrade over time. Of course, leather can be a problematic choice too, and obviously not one for vegans. Manuel Dreesmann claims that it sources the leather locally and that it is fine grain, which means it’s top quality. it makes the cases in its workshop in Barcelona using traditional techniques. My only criticism would be that the gaps at the bottom of the case, which probably make it easier to slide it in and out, stop it from being as waterproof or as protective as it might otherwise be. But that’s just a quirk of this design, the company makes other models that don’t share that. I’ve mentioned that a leather case is an expensive choice, and it certainly is. But when you consider that leather cases can retail for a lot more, and even a cheaper silicon case can have a high price despite the materials being a lot cheaper, it’s probably a fair price for this kind of quality product. Foundry Foundry Foundry Should you buy the Leather Sleeve from Manuel Dreesman This leather sleeve is a good luxury option for those who habitually put their laptop unprotected in a bag or case. There are cheaper and more protective options, but it’s good value for such high-quality leather and craftsmanship.

Twelve South ButterFly SE 2-in-1 Qi2 Charger review: minimalist beauty
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating ProsCharges Watch and iPhone (can swap Watch for AirPods)Fast-charge Watch15W Qi2 for iPhoneCompact and portableColor choicesConsExpensiveLighter colors can scuffOur VerdictThe Qi2 ButterFly SE is a great alternative to the original MagSafe ButterFly charger. It’s highly portable and looks fantastic. People will love the new color choices (especially the fun pink version), and it charges at the same fast speeds as the original. Price When Reviewed$99.99 Best Prices Today: Twelve South ButterFly SE 2-in-1 Qi2 Charger Retailer Price Twelve South $99.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket The ButterFly MagSafe Charger is one of our favorite 2-in-1 Apple Watch and iPhone chargers, and Twelve South has now released a new, more affordable, colorful SE version that uses MagSafe-matching 15W Qi2 wireless charging technology. The ButterFly Charger is a beautiful piece of design. Apple is so impressed with it that you can find it on sale in its stores. Simon Jary / Foundry Simon Jary / Foundry Simon Jary / Foundry Design It’s called the ButterFly because its round shape unfolds to display its two wireless charging wings: one 15W wireless charging pad for iPhone or AirPods, and one 5W adjustable pad for charging an Apple Watch. Twelve South Twelve South Twelve South It is compact and lightweight: 0.9 inches (2.35cm) high and 2.4 inches (6cm) wide and deep. It weighs just 4.2oz (104g), which is about 15g lighter than the metal ButterFly. Folded, it’s about the size of an AirPods Pro case. ButterFly will easily slip into a pocket, but remember that it does require a cable to connect to a USB-C wall charger. Twelve South Twelve South Twelve South It’s a flexible design—folded back on itself, you can still use it to charge either iPhone/AirPods or Watch. Or you unfold it to charge both at the same time. Twelve South Twelve South Twelve South Or you can fold the charger 180 degrees and place the Watch in Nightstand mode. Flip it around, and you can set the iPhone in landscape StandBy mode using the ButterFly like a stand. The original MagSafe ButterFly comes in just one aluminum color, while the ButterFly SE is available in three: Black, White and Pink. It has a more soft-touch finish than the metal original. Read our original Twelve South ButterFly Charger review. Simon Jary / Foundry Simon Jary / Foundry Simon Jary / Foundry Each SE version comes with a 3.3ft (1m) color-coordinated braided USB-C charging cable but not a wall charger (which is included with the original $129 ButterFly). While the soft silicone feel of the ButterFly SE is less prone to scratches than the original MagSafe ButterFly, it can scuff quite easily when slung into a bag or coat pocket. A small felt pouch would have made a welcome addition to the package. Performance As beautiful as it is, the Twelve South ButterFly SE is not a form-over-function device. While the original ButterFly charger employed Apple’s MagSafe wireless-charging tech to enable fast 15W charging with a strong magnetic connection, the ButterFly SE uses the newer Qi2 (pronounced “chee too”) tech that matches MagSafe at 15W. It’s based on MagSafe so there’s no real difference except for price—again more on that later in this review. See our explanation Is Qi2 is as good as MagSafe?. Both ButterFly models are also certified by Apple for Watch fast charging, too. For more options check out our reviews of the best MagSafe Chargers for iPhone and best Apple Watch chargers. Simon Jary / Foundry Simon Jary / Foundry Simon Jary / Foundry Price The Qi2 ButterFly SE costs $99.99 / £95 / AU$169.95 / €109,95, which is $30 cheaper than the MagSafe ButterFly. It is also available via Amazon and Amazon UK. That price difference is explained not just by the use of Qi2 rather than MagSafe. The SE doesn’t come with the 30W wall charger and 5 international outlet adapters that ship with the original. We love the ButterFly enough to justify its price, but this isn’t a cheap accessory. There may be cheaper alternatives, but we haven’t yet found any that match it for quality and convenience. If you have a spare USB-C charger you can save money buying the SE. If you don’t, then you’ll need to buy one—and you can get a high-quality charger for under $20, such as the Anker 30W Nano Charger 511, available for Amazon and Amazon UK. Check out the best iPhone wall chargers for more options. Should you buy the ButterFly SE? The Qi2 ButterFly SE is a great alternative to the original MagSafe ButterFly charger. It’s highly portable and looks fantastic. People will love the new color choices (especially the fun pink version), and it charges at the same fast speeds as the original. It’s a minimalist accessory that we recommend to all Apple Watch wearers (presuming they all own an iPhone) both for the home and as a highly portable travel charger.
