Please note: MacBook Air prices change regularly with the market. When you are ready to sell, select your exact model in the quote tool to see today’s updated price. The table above is a guide, and your final quote depends on configuration and condition.

What Affects the Value of My MacBook Air?

  • Chip generation: an M4 or M5 Air is worth substantially more than an M1. This is the biggest price driver.
  • Screen size: 15-inch models typically fetch more than 13-inch. A 15-inch Air commands a 15-20% premium over the 13-inch.
  • Storage and RAM: 512GB and 16GB+ configurations sell for noticeably more.
  • Battery health: above 80% (System Settings → Battery) keeps your quote at its maximum.
  • Condition: light wear is fine; screen damage or dents reduce the offer. We accept MacBook Airs with minor faults as long as they turn on.
  • Battery cycle count: check it in System Information → Power; a lower count means better value.
  • AppleCare+ status: active coverage increases desirability.
  • Colour: minimal impact; all colours are in demand, condition matters far more.

Maximise your MacBook Air’s value

  • Include the original charger if you have it: it can help your offer, but it is not required.
  • Clean it thoroughly: wipe the display, keyboard and housing before assessment.
  • Time your sale: sell 1-2 months before expected Apple MacBook announcements, as values drop after new releases.
  • Describe it accurately: honesty about condition ensures a smooth process and prevents a revised quote.
