Trading in my MacBook Pro for a new iPad

You are correct; Macs can only be traded in by sending them in. Make sure you take a picture of your laptop to prove its condition if necessary. also pay for full value insurance when mailing it in. Some third party companies do not have a stellar reputation. So, start this before you buy your iPad so you will have the money or gift card to use with your new purchase.

the fine print is on the bottom above the pic.

Where did you hear that? You can do the trade-in in store.

Hey babowa, I didn't know that can you provide a link?

i didn't post a link, this is a screenshot from my iPad. Unfortunately it does say that Macs cannot be traded in at a store.

Aha! The fine print, it's always the fine print!
