About 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.

See your number

Your exact estimate depends on all of these together.

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.

Scratches, dents, worn batteries and some display issues are fine if it still works. Non-working, locked, lost or stolen, liquid-damaged or swollen-battery MacBooks can't get an instant quote. Full eligibility rules.

Accessories that affect your offer

  • Original charger and cable
  • Original box

Before you sell

  • Check Battery Health in System Settings > Battery.
  • Include the USB-C charger.
  • Sign out of your Apple Account, then erase it.

How we grade your MacBook Air M1's condition

Choose the grade that matches the outside of your MacBook Air M1. Working problems are asked separately, so you're never marked down twice for the same thing.

Like New

No visible scratches, dents or keyboard shine. Looks new.

Good

Light wear you only notice up close. No dents.

Fair

Visible scratches, scuffs, worn keys or a small dent.

Poor

Heavy wear, deep scratches or several dents. Still fully working.

Damaged

Bent or cracked casing, or a loose hinge. Still powers on and works.

Not eligible

Won't power on, no usable picture, locked, liquid damaged, or a swollen battery. These can't get an instant quote.
