Impressive. Four years in and my once €2100 M1 Pro is worth maybe €600.

  You can try selling it in Asia (Singapore / Malaysia). You can get a good deal for it there usually if your battery cycle count is low. One thing I really learned is - it's super important to keep the battery cycle count low if you want a good resale value on your machine. I was extremely fortunate enough with the M1 Pro to always use it plugged in because I was constantly worried about not having enough battery when I actually needed it.

    Does replacing the battery reset the cycle count? If so, does it raise the resale value by more than the cost of a replacement battery?

      Officially via Apple? Absolutely not. Unofficially? A risky affair that mostly will end up losing the warranty on the device. However if you plan to keep the device longer with you, it's a path worth exploring if the cycle count is high.

    Personally I rather just use the MacBook how I want and not limit my usage based on potential resale value.
