MacBook Pro owners can save up to $800 on the new M5 model with Best Buy’s trade-in offer
Table of Contents
Apple recently launched the new MacBook Pro powered by the M5 chip, along with two other M5 products: the iPad Pro M5 and Apple Vision Pro M5. Pre-orders are already live, and the laptop will officially release on October 22. At the moment, only the 14-inch MacBook Pro model comes with the new M5 chip. Apple has not said anything yet about the 16-inch version, and this is more than likely set to arrive once the expected M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are launched.
As usual, pricing depends on the storage and memory configuration you choose. The 14-inch MacBook Pro M5 with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD costs $1,599. The model with 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage is priced at $1,799, while the version with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD comes in at $1,999. However, if you already own a MacBook Pro and want to upgrade, there is a way to save money.
Trade in your old silicon MacBook Pro
While MacBook Pro M5 pre orders continue to take place, Best Buy is offering a trade-in program that gives you up to $800 off when you trade in an eligible MacBook Pro. According to Best Buy's trade-in page, here's how much you can get depending on the model:
| Model | Estimated trade-in value |
|---|---|
| MacBook Pro (M4) | Up to $800 |
| MacBook Pro (M3) | Up to $600 |
| MacBook Pro (M2) | Up to $490 |
| MacBook Pro (M1) | Up to $300 |
These prices are only estimates and represent the highest possible value. The actual trade-in amount depends on the condition of your current device. For example, if you own a MacBook Pro M4 that is in fair condition and does not include the power adapter or cable, Best Buy will offer around $495 for it. But if you have the same M4 model in good condition and it includes the original power adapter and cable, you can get the full $800 trade-in value.
Overall, if you want to upgrade to the new MacBook Pro with the M5 chip, the Best Buy trade-in deal can help lower the cost. You could get the entry model for as low as $799 if you have a MacBook Pro M4 in great condition. The estimates above only cover the latest Apple silicon (M-series) chips, but you can still get a trade-in discount on the older Intel models, too (see below).
