Q: Does Apple Australia offer MacBook trade Ins?

Hi,

I want to upgrade my old MacBook Pro 13" late 2010 model (which is in good working condition) towards the new MacBook Pro 13". Does Apple Australia accept any Trade Ins at their store towards the new purchase?

MacBook Pro, iOS 10.0.3, trade in

    Go to Apple's Australia's site and find out.

    In the USA Apple contracts with a third party for trade in and the gift card take a little time to process.

    How about selling old MacBook Pro at eBay?

    There are likely some independent authorized Apple trained service providers

    who also sell new or repaired/refurbished macs that may take a good condition

    model in on part trade, toward a newer or newest model. ~ At their discretion.

     

    So to say, 'Apple' and ask for a blanket rule, that answer would probably be NO.

    Apple Store in Australia would likely not accept your old MacBook, toward new.

     

    If the unit has a re-usable value and not too old, there may be a program that

    may allow a larger percentage of value in exchange for a gift card; this may or

    may not be equal or greater than the recycle program. You almost always can

    do better with reselling a good working Mac Portable or certain model desktop

    to a private party. Independent shops in some regions may allow consignment;

    in my experience, have found better results in private sale or giving them away.

     

    Good luck & happy trails!
