Also a lot of people bought M1 Macs in the previous year because they were the first good Macs since 2015, and didn’t need to buy again.

- antimora 3y agoAlso the trade-in price for M1 is 50% lower than on the used market. (Edit: buyout -> trade-in)
- muro 3y agoDo you mean when using it as a trade-in with Apple? Something else? Apologies, don't quite follow.
- eropple 3y agoI think the GP poster was referring to that, because (anecdotally but still) when I was selling an M1 Pro, Apple offered me $950 but I was able to sell it for $1500. I probably could've gotten more, but I wanted it out of the house.
- muro 3y agoRight, have a similar experience. Wanted to upgrade to one with a larger SSD as I'm always running out, but the trade-in price was ridiculous. Decided to keep what I have
- lapcat 3y agoWhen do you ever need to upgrade your desktop computer every year? Upgrade cycles are more like 4-6+ years.
- rocketbop 3y agoYes sure. I mean, many people hadn’t had an incentive to buy for several years and then a much improved machine came along, and many people bit. I certainly did, after years of hating my 2016 MacBook Pro.
- tim333 3y agoI liked my 2013 air and the M1 air was the first thing to come along that seemed a fair bit better. Although I still miss the smaller size and weight of the 11" air. Still the M1 has twice the battery life.
- happycube 3y ago(I think there was one final intel round that had a reasonable keyboard, but I don't keep track enough to know if it was as good in other ways...)
- tim333 3y agoYeah the last intel macbooks were quite good but not so much incentive to upgrade over earlier macs, unlike the M1s.
- sys_64738 3y agoTotally nailed it. 2016 to the M1 had Apple release trash product. The touch bar? A keyboard that doesn’t work? Garbage.
