About 1 minuteAbout the MacBook Air M1
Apple released the M1 MacBook Air in late 2020, the first Air with Apple silicon. It has no fan, a wedge-shaped design and two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports.
It came with a 7-core or 8-core GPU and 8GB or 16GB of memory. Battery health varies a lot by now, so it's worth checking before you quote.

MacBook Air M1 trade-in value: what affects your offer?
Price follows current resale demand, then your answers adjust it.
GPU
The 8-core GPU model earns slightly more.
Memory
16GB M1 Airs are less common and worth more.
Storage
512GB and up adds value over 256GB.
Battery health
Many M1 Airs are near or below 80% now. Normal health helps your offer.
Condition
Dents on the corners and screen marks have the biggest effect.
Is my MacBook Air M1 eligible?
It needs to power on, show a usable picture, be signed out of its Apple Account with Activation Lock off, be free of MDM and firmware-password locks, have no swollen battery, and be legally yours.

Accessories that affect your offer
- Original charger and cable
- Original box
Before you sell
