Sell or trade in your MacBook Air Intel (2019/2020) in Vienna
The last MacBook Air with an Intel processor is mostly in demand today as a reliable everyday device, even if the newer Apple chips are faster. Anyone switching to an M model can turn the Intel Air into money instead of leaving it in a drawer. We pay a fair residual value for it.
Intel MacBook Air 2019/2020: our prices
| Like new, no scratches | up to 170 EUR |
| Very good, minimal marks | up to 140 EUR |
| Visible wear | up to 105 EUR |
| Faulty, never opened | from 90 EUR |
For a 13-inch MacBook Air with Intel from 2019 or 2020 we pay up to 170 € in like-new condition, up to 140 € with minimal marks and up to 105 € with visible wear. Faulty and never opened, it still earns from 90 €. On the 2019 model the flat butterfly keyboard is the usual price killer, because keys start to stick or repeat. On both years a battery past 800 cycles and a noisy fan cost extra.
Guide values for 128 GB SSD, which only the 2019 model offered; the 2020 Air starts at 256 GB. The SSD size, cycle count and condition decide the final amount after inspection.
An old or faulty Intel Air still has value
A key that no longer responds, a screen with a crack, a fan that roars at every video call or an Air that refuses to boot: as long as nobody has opened the bottom case, we buy it from 90 €. Even with a low price level, faulty Intel Airs are worth selling rather than throwing away, since we refurbish them in our own workshop.
How the sale of your Intel MacBook Air runs
The calculator asks for SSD size, condition, battery cycles and faults, then shows your estimate. Accept it, and we email you an insured label; the parcel travels from any Austrian post office to Vienna at our cost. We test the keyboard key by key, then display, trackpad, Touch ID, fan and battery. About 48 hours after that inspection the money is sent by PayPal or bank transfer. All models we buy are on the MacBook trade-in overview.
Erasing an Intel MacBook Air before you ship it
Both years have Apple’s security chip, so on macOS Monterey or later you can use Erase All Content and Settings like on newer Macs: from Ventura under System Settings › General › Transfer or Reset, on Monterey in the System Preferences menu in the menu bar. On an older macOS you instead erase the drive in macOS Recovery and reinstall the system. Either way, back up with Time Machine and switch off Find My first. Apple explains both routes on its support article about erasing a Mac.
FAQ on selling an Intel MacBook Air
What is the trade-in value of an Intel MacBook Air 2020?
A 13-inch Intel MacBook Air with 128 GB brings up to 170 € like new, with minimal marks up to 140 € and with visible wear up to 105 €. The 2020 model has at least 256 GB and reaches up to 200 € like new. Faulty and unopened, it starts at 90 €.
Is it still worth selling a used MacBook Air 2020 with Intel?
Yes, if it works well: many buyers only need a MacBook for mail, browsing and documents. Second-hand prices for older Macs tend to fall over time, so a well-kept one is best sold while it still brings up to 200 € with 256 GB.
How much more for an Intel MacBook Air with 256 GB or 512 GB?
With 256 GB, the minimum on every 2020 model, we add 30 €, up to 200 € like new. With 512 GB the Intel MacBook Air earns 70 € more, so up to 240 €. The SSD size appears under Apple menu › About This Mac.
Do you buy a MacBook Air 2019 with a faulty butterfly keyboard?
Yes. Sticking, double-typing or dead keys on the 2019 MacBook Air count as a keyboard fault, which we buy from 90 € if the case was never opened. Mark the keyboard in the calculator.
Can I sell an Intel MacBook Air with a cracked display?
Yes. A cracked, dark or stained screen makes the Intel MacBook Air a faulty unit, bought from 90 € when unopened. Choose the display fault in the calculator to see the adjusted value.
What do high battery cycles cost on an Intel MacBook Air?
Under 300 cycles nothing. Between 300 and 800 cycles the Intel MacBook Air loses a little, above 800 more, because many of these batteries are near the end. System Report › Power shows the count.
Can I ship my Intel MacBook Air from Linz or Salzburg for free?
Yes, from anywhere in Austria. The insured label comes by email and you hand in the Intel MacBook Air at any post office. Postage is on us, and the offer is the same in every region.
What if I do not accept your offer for my Intel MacBook Air?
We send the Intel MacBook Air back for 10 € return shipping. Sending it in was free. If our checked price differs from your estimate, we explain why before you decide.
How do I remove my Apple Account from a MacBook Air 2020?
Switch off Find My Mac in System Settings, sign out of your Apple Account and then erase the Mac. Only once Activation Lock is gone can we buy the MacBook Air 2020.
How is the Intel MacBook Air paid out?
By PayPal or bank transfer, around 48 hours after our technician has checked the Intel MacBook Air. We do not pay in banknotes, and each purchase is recorded in a written sales contract.
Does Apple Trade In pay money for an Intel MacBook Air?
No. Apple credits the value of an Intel MacBook Air against a new device or issues an Apple Gift Card. We pay by transfer or PayPal and also take faulty units. It is worth comparing both amounts.
Should I include the charger with my Intel MacBook Air?
Yes, the original USB-C power adapter and cable add a bonus in the calculator. Without them we still buy the Intel MacBook Air, just slightly lower. No box is needed.
Can I sell a MacBook Air 2020 for parts?
Yes. Even a MacBook Air 2020 that does not start at all earns from 90 €, as long as it has never been opened. Choose “does not start at all” in the calculator; we use such units for repairs.
Does a loud fan lower the price of my Intel MacBook Air?
Only if it points to a fault. A fan that spins up under load is normal on the Intel MacBook Air; one that grinds or runs constantly counts as a defect. Our technician checks it during inspection.
Where to sell a used Intel MacBook Air in Austria?
With us, by insured post. Calculate the value, send the Intel MacBook Air to our Vienna workshop and receive your money about 48 hours after inspection. There is no in-person hand-over.
