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.
The 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro was the first Pro model with Apple’s newly design M1 Apple Silicon processor. Although there were no other changes to the product line itself the performance and battery benefits afforded by the M1 ARM chip were unparalleled. The biggest controversy was that it only supported one external display which stopped a large portion of customer base from upgrading. The 2020 MacBook Pro was announced alongside the MacBook Air with the same M1 chip but had 8 GPU cores as standard. This was an upgrade on the Air.
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 final version of the intel based Touch Bar MacBook Pro was unveiled on November 13th 2019 succeeding the 15-inch model. The 2019 16-inch had the largest MacBook Pro screen since the 17-inch unibody model from 2011. Also included were the scissor switch keys from the Magic Keyboard which was a great relief for many. There we no ports changes when compared to the 15-inch 2019 but you could now go up to 64GB of RAM and an 8GB HBM2 memory graphics card.

Learn how our process works step by step. We will keep you updated, so you always know what’s going on with your device.
Step 1
Find Your Serial Number
From your MacBook’s serial number, we can detect your model and specification with great accuracy. The process is similar to entering your car’s registration number.
Step 2
Condition, Collection
 & Payment Forms
Did you pay hundreds to upgrade your MacBook with a dedicated graphics card? We will offer you more than any of our competitors! MacFinder is the only trade-in service which allows you to select your device’s exact specification.
Your device’s specifications aren’t the only things that make a big difference. Condition is also another factor which can affect value – as simple as A, B or C grade. We’re the only service to grade the device’s chassis, screen, battery, and more – this helps us ensure accuracy when pricing. A small hairline scratch won’t devalue your device like a cracked screen.
Step 3
We Collect From You
When we have confirmed your offer, we will quickly book your MacBook collection. When selecting your date, we require at least five days’ notice so that your collection pack can arrive in due time and you can pack your device for the courier.
When the collection day arrives, DPD will collect your package with a provided pre-paid label that they will place on the box. Your device will then be delivered to us the next day.
Step 4
Checking & Testing
When your MacBook arrives at MacFinder, it’ll be passed over to our inspection team. They will ensure the condition and specification match up and make sure the device is functional. This includes everything from headphone ports to Wi-Fi connectivity.
Step 5
Payment
Once the inspection has passed, payment will then be sent. We offer various payment options for you to choose from and our finance team will deposit the funds using your preferred payment method. If you are exchanging, your credit will be added to your MacFinder account, ready for use right away.

We can take care of everything for you. All you need to do is box your MacBook and wait for it to be collected. Once you have sent the necessary information to sell your MacBook, we’ll organise the collection and send you our specialist packaging.
Once you’ve valued your Apple device, if you’re not yet ready to go ahead and confirm your sale, you can save your quote to email.
In your confirmation email, you will receive a link which allows you to open up your valuation from any device. Quotes are valid for five days, after which you can return and get an updated valuation.
You will be paid once we’ve received your item and it’s been inspected by one of our Apple-certified technicians. We aim to pay your quote within 48 hours of receiving the item; however, this can take up to 5 working days.
Payment will take longer if the specification is incorrect, the condition is wrong, we can’t pay you via your selected payment method due to erroneous details, or you’re a business and we require an invoice from you.
We may revise your quote if your model, specification, or condition doesn’t match what you’ve submitted. If you’re not happy with our assessment or your revised quote, we will send your item back to you free of charge on a next-day service.
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 MacBook, 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.
