Little things that were "cool" when you purchased the laptop like a fingerprint scanner or a card reader have extremely little value in the aftermarket. Id rather have an imac because believe it or not macbooks are definitely the only apple product that is actually overpriced.Ĭlick to expand.Never said it was worthless, I'm just saying you're putting a higher value on "features" than what the market will. And if I want security, visual effects, and ease of use I would get Ubuntu which I have.ħ.

Honestly the software and look of a mac are the only thing super good about it.

Regardless, Mac's are not superior nor are they inferior than Linux or Windows I simply want one because I think it is feature rich, a lot of people have them, and I simply never had one. So an older mac for my laptop is an extremely good deal for someone who doesn't like mac.Ħ. You must understand however, that my laptop has more features than even current macbooks (maybe not imacs) and that should be considered before saying that my laptop is worthless compared to macs. Also I do understand that many people who "go mac never come back" so yes I would be looking for someone who bought a mac but didn't like it.ĥ. Obviously I couldn't get one that's exactly the same, since mine is a 17-inch, and a Mac would obviously cost more for the same screen size.Ĥ. I am not looking to trade with someone on the forums only if anyone thinks I could do this.ģ. Yes Mac's seem to go down in value much slower.Ģ. Look at #5, it is the only one that really matters.ġ. Here's a fair amount of information and links to new/used/refurbished Macs from several different companies: but I doubt you'll find someone like that here on these forums. It is quite possible that you will find a Mac user who purchased a nice Mac, then decided they really didn't like it and are looking to get back into the Windows or Linux side of things.

I think you're going to have a hard time "trading" your PC for a Mac while having both parties walk away thinking they each got a fair deal. No one that is truly enjoying their Mac is going to want to trade you, and those that are not enjoying their Macs probably have Macs that are worth less than you'll accept. I believe that trying to make a "trade" will lead you down a dead-end road of frustration. My suggestion is to sell your PC for cash, then take whatever cash you get and purchase a new or used Mac. I think thinking in terms of features is going to give you an artificially inflated perceived value of your computer. Macs don't have fingerprint scanners, for example. and I believe you already have the mindset that will prevent your trade from ever taking place: if you insist on trading for a Mac that is feature-for-feature complete with your current computer, you will never end up finding anyone that's willing to trade. Yes, Macs do depreciate, just at a much slower rate than PCs. Macs from the year 2001 are still selling for several hundred dollars - I doubt you could pay someone to take a PC off your hands from that same era. Macs hold their value a lot longer than their PC counterparts.
