6/3/2023 0 Comments How to trade in my macbook air![]() You'd in essence be paying $1279 for a $999 computer. So I can get it for net new cost of $429. I checked and I can trade in my MBA (with the Intel i3 processor) to Apple for a $570 credit. ![]() Now I know why it was discounted - to make way for the new MBA with the M1 processor. I bought a new MacBook Air a couple months ago. So if you like your existing device, I'd at least consider whether the $429 you seem willing to drop today might be better added to some other money in a year or two to get a second or third generation device. And I'd be more than comfortable giving things a month or two to see if there's any sort of AntennaGate type thing biting early adopters. But, still, there will be bits and pieces of sharp edges, like software which cleverly manages to defeat their emulation magic, most of which will be entirely resolved in a year or two. Yes, of anyone out there, they absolutely are the company best-placed to do a really great job on it. On the gripping hand, this is Apple's first outing with this new system. On the other hand, it sure is neat! And it doesn't have a fan, which actually might be a consideration for me (three years in, I'm betting you'll notice you have a fan on the Intel device). So on the one hand, spending $429 to get a better computer that doesn't do what you need done better is $429 down the drain. I've heard nothing but good things about the M1, but, realistically, you don't need it for the uses you describe. But my computer needs are pretty modest - mostly web surfing and emailing, with the occasional word-processing document. Do y'all think it's worthwhile to trade up? I hear the new MBA is a vast improvement over the old Intel-based version.
