What changes the price of a MacBook?
- Chip. Macs with Apple silicon are worth the most, and the newest chips, such as M5, are worth more than older M1 and M2 models. Intel MacBooks are worth less.
- Memory and storage. More memory (RAM) and storage mean a higher price.
- Screen size. Larger models, such as the 16-inch MacBook Pro, are usually worth more.
- Condition. Dents, a cracked screen, worn keys or a weak battery lower the price. Our condition guide explains each grade.
- Find My and Activation Lock. A Mac still linked to an Apple Account can't be resold, so turn off Find My before you send it.
How to check your model and spec
Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. You will see the model name, year, chip and memory. Storage is shown under General > Storage in System Settings. Our find your model page has a Mac finder to help.
