Depreciation value of MacBook?
Nov 2, 2020
Any idea on depreciation per year on Macs... 30% year. 40%, .... ?
Thanks
Thanks
Depends on demand, specs and who is doing the selling.
On MR, there is a significant hit. I would say 20% + (year one), because people like getting great deals. I don't think there is a set amount per year. Some models appear sell much quicker than others.

It depends. Lower spec models tend to hold their value better.
For instance you could have to pay a huge premium now to get a 1TB SSD but it may be a relatively inexpensive upgrade in a few years time. Seeing that Apple solders stuff in now you can't use 3rd party upgrades like you used to.
Resale prices on sites like eBay etc. tend to be a lot better than what you'd get for a trade-in with Apple.

Thanks guys... thinking since I spent $1600 on my Mac, if I loose 30% in one year, the computer costs me $480 for the year (or $40 / month, or $1.33 / day) of service... that is is great!
If I didn't know better, I would say you are already scheming numbers in regards to the new M2 (or whatever name is this year) upgrade. lol That was my first thought when seeing the thread.Thanks guys... thinking since I spent $1600 on my Mac, if I loose 30% in one year, the computer costs me $480 for the year (or $40 / month, or $1.33 / day) of service... that is is great!

anything past 2012 is great but before 2017 (pre-keyboard-gate) is better.
and 8 ram GBs
i might pick up a MPB 13" 2015 just for the photo-card drive instead of a new M1

You got it, spot on!!!!If I didn't know better, I would say you are already scheming numbers in regards to the new M2 (or whatever name is this year) upgrade. lol That was my first thought when seeing the thread.
Wishing for a MBP 13 without Touch Bar
I don't think that will happen. Apple did offer a MBP (for a short while) without the Touch Bar not long after the new feature was released. It seems Apple is intent on people using a Touch Bar. I probably would have gotten the MBP this year, if it didn't have a Touch Bar.You got it, spot on!!!!
