MacBook evaluation — What do we check?
- • Battery cycles + max health — under 80% = adjustment
- • Keyboard — every key, especially on butterfly models
- • Screen — dead pixels, burn-in, spots, lines
- • Trackpad and buttons — Force Touch, click, pressure

- • SSD — confirmed capacity, SMART status
- • Heat and fans — load test
- • iCloud / Activation Lock — must be disabled before sale
Broken or problematic MacBooks — we evaluate anyway
Cracked screen, broken keyboard, coffee/water damage, broken hinge, swollen battery, won't power on — we evaluate everything. Depending on model and damage, we offer between $50 and $1,200 for a damaged MacBook. Components often remain recoverable (Apple Silicon logic boards have good resale value as parts).
How to prepare your MacBook before selling
- 1. Time Machine backup of important data
- 2. Sign out of Apple ID: System Settings → [Your name] → Sign Out
- 3. Disable Find My: automatic with Apple ID sign-out
- 4. Reset: System Settings → General → Transfer or Reset → Erase All Content and Settings
- 5. Bring the MacBook + original charger + box if available
If you don't know how, we can do it in-store. But signing out of Apple ID before coming avoids any issues.

For every transaction at SubSell, we plant a tree. Since 2017, over 50,000 devices have been diverted from landfills thanks to our Montreal customers. Selling or trading instead of throwing away is circular economy in action.
Frequently asked questions — Sell MacBook Montreal
Do you accept MacBooks with butterfly keyboard?
MacBook 2016-2019 models with butterfly keyboard are accepted. Price is adjusted for known defects (sticky keys, repeating characters, missed letters). If Apple replaced the keyboard under the service program, mention it — that increases value.
How do you evaluate battery condition?
We check cycle count (Settings → Battery → Battery Health) and maximum capacity. A battery under 80% health or with a service message reduces the price by $100-$200. Apple recommends replacement after 1,000 cycles; beyond that, additional adjustment.
My MacBook has screen retention/burn-in — is it worth anything?
MacBook Pros with mini-LED or OLED screens affected by burn-in or stage light retain reduced value. Apple sometimes offers free replacement — check with them first. Otherwise, we buy based on condition.
Do you differentiate Intel vs Apple Silicon?
Apple Silicon MacBooks (M1, M2, M3, M4) have significantly higher resale value than recent Intel models. Intel MacBook Pros (2018-2020) retain residual value of $200-$400 depending on configuration.
Do I need to provide the charger?
Ideally yes — an original USB-C 67W, 96W or 140W charger adds $30-$60 to the value. If you've lost the charger, we still buy, just with a small adjustment.
Do you accept custom configurations (CTO/BTO)?
And they can be worth more. A MacBook Pro M4 Max with 64GB RAM and 2TB SSD is worth substantially more than a base configuration. Bring your serial number for a precise evaluation.
