MacBook Airs are the most traded-in Apple laptop. They're thin, they hold value, and buyers are always looking for them. Here's what yours is worth right now — in cash, not Apple credit.

MacBook Air M4 (2025)

MacBook Air 13" M4 32GB 2TB: Up to $790get your quote

MacBook Air 15" M4 24GB 2TB: Up to $882

MacBook Air 15" M4 32GB 1TB: Up to $722

MacBook Air 13" M4 16GB 1TB: Up to $571

MacBook Air 13" M4 16GB 512GB: Up to $516

M4 Airs released in early 2025. Even base configs hold over $500 — sell soon while values are peak.

MacBook Air M3 (2024)

MacBook Air 15" M3 16GB 1TB: Up to $630get your quote

MacBook Air 13" M3 8GB 512GB: Up to $420

M3 Airs dropped slightly when M4 launched but still command strong prices, especially the 15" model.

MacBook Air M2 (2022–2023)

MacBook Air 15" M2 2TB: Up to $530get your quote

MacBook Air 13" M2 512GB: Up to $363

The 15" M2 Air launched in 2023 and holds value better than the 13" due to rarity and screen size demand.

MacBook Air M1 (2020)

MacBook Air M1 512GB: Up to $312

MacBook Air M1 256GB: Up to $—

M1 Airs are the most popular used MacBook on the market. Huge buyer demand keeps resale values stable even as they age. But M4 launch pressure will start pulling these down — sell now if you're upgrading.

MacBook Air Intel (2017–2020)

Intel MacBook Airs are worth $60–180 depending on year and RAM. The last Intel Air (2020 i3/i5) fetches $100–180. Earlier models (2017–2019) are $60–120. If you have one sitting unused, it's still worth something — but that window is closing.

Condition Matters

A MacBook Air in flawless condition gets the top price. Good condition (visible scratches, battery over 80%) is typically 15–20% less. Bad battery, cracked hinge, or keyboard issues reduce value further — but we still buy them.
