Don’t know your serial number?
The 2020 MacBook Air release was historic for Apple. Implementing the M1 Apple SoC into the lightweight Mac brought drastic performance and battery life improvements. Although there was no overhaul in design it wasn’t needed. The M1 SoC multi-core performance is 2.6x faster than the top specification i7 in the Intel in the previous model. It was released along side an updated 13-inch MacBook Pro with very similar specifications.
The 2022 MacBook Air came with a brand new design and many improvements over the previous generations. Thinner and lighter, an improved screen and a battery life that would last all day are just some of the changes. However, the MacBook Air seems to be no longer seen as the bottom of the product line and instead a different option. The price reflected this shift in the product lineup.
Apple's release of the 2020 MacBook Air saw an end to the butterfly keyboard. From its release, all MacBooks now used the Magic Keyboard which was a relief for heavy keyboard users. Small performance improvements were also made to the processors and graphics.
The 15-inch M2 2023 MacBook Air was the first of its kind. No MacBook Air previously had been sold as a 15-inch. It included a whole new redesign following the designs of the Pro models and the removal of the tapered front edge.
Late 2018 Apple unveiled a well overdue refresh to the MacBook Air. Moving away from the old aluminium bezel and offering three colours brought the Air more in line with the Pro models.

By reading the step-by-step instructions below, understand how our process works. MacFinder will keep you updated so you always know what’s going on with your device.
Step 1
Find Your Serial Number
By using your Mac’s serial number, we can accurately and reliably determine important information relating to your Mac device – including specification, model and year of manufacture. The process is similar to entering your car’s registration number.
Step 2
Condition, Collection & Payment Forms
Does your device include upgraded components from Apple? We will offer you more than any of our competitors! MacFinder is the only trade-in service which allows you to get more money for your Mac’s upgraded specification.
Your device’s model and specification aren’t the only things that have an effect on your Mac’s overall value. We also check all trade-in Macs for their condition, which we rate as A, B or C grade. We are the only trade-in service to grade all components – this helps us quote a consistent, reliable value. A small scratch won’t affect the overall value as much as a cracked screen or broken hinge.
Step 3
We Collect From You
Once you have accepted our offer, we begin the collection process. We require you to select your collection date at least five days in advance – this will allow time for your collection pack to arrive and allow you time to prepare it for the courier.
When your collection day comes along, DPD will collect your device at an arranged time and provide a pre-paid shipping label, which they will place on the provided box. Your device will be with us at MacFinder on the next day.
Step 4
Checking & Testing
Once your device arrives with us, It’ll be taken to our inspection team who will ensure the device is functional and the condition matches your quote. The inspection will include everything from physical condition to the functionality of the device’s features.
Step 5
Payment
Once your device has passed the inspection process, the payment will be sent to you. We offer a selection of payment options for you to choose from – our finance team will deposit the funds using your preferred payment method. If you are planning on exchanging your device for one of our stocked Macs, your in-store credit will be applied to your MacFinder account.

Unless you requested a data transfer and are upgrading with us, your device is professionally wiped on arrival. If you’d prefer to, you can reset your device but it is not required.
When you decide to sell your old Mac, it’s understandable that you want to know that your personal data will be protected. Our facility is certified data secure, GDPR compliant, and ISO accredited. All items we receive are thoroughly wiped of personal data (Apple ID etc.) once our testing process has been completed. If you are buying a replacement Mac from us, we can also arrange to transfer your data to your new machine.
It is crucial that you sign out of your Apple ID and disable the find my service. We provide a guide on how to do this on the quote confirmation page and email. If you do not remove the iCloud activation locks, your trade-in will be delayed.
