Not only do they offer a little less money than my local premium reseller, CompuB for your device, it also takes a few working days for the money to reach your bank account. The only other similar experience I had in the past, was via CEX, which while still a viable option, it suddenly felt a lot less practical. I was very curious to find out what gets inspected on the old device, how quick the process was and how the valuation happened. In Ireland - to my knowledge - trade-in options that offered more than just the usual Apple peanuts recycle value, have not existed before, so I was excited just by the mere fact of experiencing handing over something old for something new. I think the first important point I have to make in hopping on the M1 bandwagon, is that I might have not done it, have I not had the option to trade in an existing device.
For brevity I’ll keep referring to it as Pro M1 (and yes, I know this article won’t age well). Two days after Apple started selling the new Apple Silicon M1 Macs in their stores, I threw my nearly two-year-old 2019 MacBook Air and its charger into my backpack and marched to my nearest premium reseller* to embark on an exciting and only moderately expensive journey into the slightly unknown.Īfter a slightly awkward dialog at the shop where I had to clear up whether I was looking for “training” or “trade-in” (masks have a huge detrimental effect on accessibility, but not many talk about it), out I walked five minutes later with a brand new MacBook Pro 13" with Apple Silicon M1 under the hood.
