The MacBook Pro is surely one of Apple's popular products. It's certainly one of the best computers for professionals of all kinds and is the highest-end model of the MacBook family. Do you have an old MacBook just lying there and don't know what to do with it? Thinking of giving it out or recycling? The choice is up to you. But remember when you purchased that MacBook and the huge price tag it came with? Still thinking of giving it out? You can make some cash from it by simply recycling. 

Your MacBook Pro can be worth anywhere from next to nothing to a few thousand pounds depending on model and condition. Before you can figure out how much your MacBook is worth, you need to know exactly which MacBook you have. You can find the model number on the bottom of the system or, if it's handy, the box it came in. Either way, that number will reveal most of the key specs about the system: processor speed, RAM, storage and even colour name.  MacBooks in good condition tend to hold their value quite well. If you are trying to figure out how much your MacBook is worth, there are different factors that come into play.

The physical condition of your laptop is one major factor here. If your MacBook is scratched, has some keys missing, dented or even a cracked screen. It is going to be worth less. If it's in great condition and you've kept good care of it over the time it's been with you, it's definitely going to be worth more. So make sure it's cleaned, back it up, format the hard drive and you're good to go.

Knowing your MacBook's hardware also helps. Before you can figure how much your MacBook is really worth, you need to know exactly which MacBook you have. Find the model number on the bottom of the system. That number will reveal most of the key specifications about the system.

Another thing to consider is whether it is a good time to sell your Mac.

It makes sense to sell  an old model before Apple announces a new one. Obviously when a new model is announced, the older ones will lose a significant amount of value. 

Furthermore, accessories can net an additional £10 to £20. Some buyers dish out more if the laptop have the original packaging.
