SubSell buys laptops of every brand in Montreal, for cash. Business ThinkPad, premium XPS, gaming laptop or Chromebook: bring yours in for a free in-store evaluation. It takes about 15 minutes and happens in front of you at the counter, 757 Rue Beaubien East in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie. There's no parking-lot meetup like Marketplace or Kijiji: a real person inspects the exact machine and stays accountable after you've been paid. Prefer to ship it? You can, from anywhere in Canada, paid by Interac e-Transfer or bank wire once it is received and checked.
What we buy
SubSell buys Windows laptops from every major brand: Lenovo (ThinkPad, IdeaPad, Legion), Dell (Latitude, XPS, Precision), HP (EliteBook, Pavilion, Spectre), Acer (Aspire, Nitro, Predator) and Asus (ZenBook, VivoBook, ROG), plus gaming laptops of any brand. We also buy Surface, Chromebooks and, in store, some desktop and all-in-one PCs.
Bring yours with its charger: we evaluate it in front of you — keyboard, screen, battery, ports, cooling — and pay cash on the spot.
What determines your laptop's value
The processor and its generation, RAM amount, SSD size and type, whether there's a dedicated GPU (gaming), battery health and overall condition. On business machines (ThinkPad, Latitude, EliteBook), the BIOS password and remote-management locks must be removed — otherwise value drops. The exact price is confirmed free in store; selling by mail, you get it through the form or on WhatsApp.
Broken, slow or faulty laptop
Cracked screen, broken hinge, dead keyboard, overheating, won't boot, swollen battery: we evaluate everything. Even a faulty laptop keeps parts value (screen, SSD, battery, GPU). Don't have it restored before selling — the cost often exceeds the gain, and we buy the machine exactly as it is, with no appointment and cash on the spot.
How to raise the offer on your laptop
To get the strongest offer, bring the original charger, clear any BIOS supervisor password, and sign the machine out of your Microsoft account, Azure AD or your employer's management fleet. A ThinkPad or Latitude still enrolled in an Intune tenant, or locked by Computrace, loses a lot of value — it can't be wiped and reset cleanly for the next owner.
The box, a spare power brick or a compatible docking station help too. On gaming laptops — Asus ROG, Acer Predator, Lenovo Legion — cleaned fans and recent thermal paste show up right away on the bench test. You don't have to do any of this: bring the laptop as-is to 757 Rue Beaubien East, beside Beaubien metro, and we'll tell you on the spot what moves the number. The evaluation stays free even if you walk out with your laptop.
What we inspect by brand and line
| Brand / line | What we check at evaluation |
|---|---|
| Lenovo ThinkPad (T, X, X1 Carbon) | We test the TrackPoint and spill-resistant keyboard, and confirm the BIOS supervisor password is cleared and the Computrace/Absolute persistence module is disabled. |
| Dell Latitude / XPS | We read the service tag, check the panel (InfinityEdge display on XPS), the hinge, and that there's no BIOS admin password or leftover Dell enrolment. |
| HP EliteBook / ProBook | We check HP Sure Start, DriveLock and any management lock; keyboard, panel and fingerprint reader are all bench-tested. |
| Asus ROG / Acer Predator (gaming) | We load-test the dedicated GPU, listen to the fans, and look for overheating and battery swelling, both common on gaming laptops. |
| Lenovo Legion / Dell G-series | Same gaming checks: thermals, WASD key wear, ports and the original charger all verified. |
| Surface / Chromebook | We check the touchscreen, account sign-out (a Chromebook needs a Powerwash) and the hinge or kickstand condition. |

Frequently asked questions
Where can I sell my laptop in Montreal?
At SubSell, 757 Rue Beaubien East (Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie), 30 seconds from Beaubien metro. Free evaluation, cash on the spot, no appointment, or ship it from anywhere in Canada and get paid by Interac e-Transfer or bank wire.
Do you buy business (ex-fleet) laptops?
Yes — they're actually the most in-demand (ThinkPad, Latitude, EliteBook). Make sure the BIOS password and any management lock are removed before selling.
Should I erase my laptop before selling it?
Ideally yes: sign out of your accounts and reset Windows (Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC → Remove everything). On a Chromebook, do a Powerwash. We can guide you in store.
How much is my laptop worth?
It depends on the brand, processor, RAM, SSD, GPU and condition. We confirm the exact price free in store in about 15 minutes — bring the model or serial number.
Do you buy laptops that won't turn on?
Yes. Bring it in — even a laptop that won't boot has parts value in the screen, SSD, battery and, on gaming models, the dedicated GPU. We check it at the counter and make an offer on the spot; there's nothing you need to do to it first. Bring photo ID, and the free evaluation takes about 15 minutes.
