When it’s time to invest in a new laptop, tucking your used Apple® products into a drawer may seem like a suitable solution. While it can be useful to have a backup, you’ll be missing out on several perks. Even if your old laptop has checked out, consider the following benefits of trading it in.

Why Your Old Laptop Deserves a Trade-In

1. Savings

Many stores that sell used Apple products will give you a discount if you trade in your old machine. This is a great alternative to selling it on your own, especially if you plan on buying yours from the same store. The store credit that’s offered often surpasses the industry value of these used devices.

For the best return, spruce up the case with an approved cleaner and blast dust and debris from the ports and keyboard with compressed air.

2. Recycling

Broken laptops contribute to landfill overflow. These devices may leak toxins eventually, which can harm the environment.

You’re also wasting valuable metals that are used in laptops. A used Apple product dealer can properly recycle your laptop and often does so free of charge. Parts can be broken down and reused in the future, or the professionals can harvest usable components and place them inside their other used products.

3. Donations

Stores may also partner with local charities to give used laptops to underprivileged children. Your old device may be repurposed in a school or library, which will give you the satisfaction of knowing it was put to good use. You may also be able to write the donation off on your income taxes at the end of the year and get a deduction.
