The value of a used laptop depends on brand, model, age, specs, and condition. Here's how to figure out what yours is worth — and where to get the most cash for it.
Laptop Resale Value by Brand (2026)
- Apple MacBook: $200–$2,000+ — holds value best of any laptop brand
- Alienware / Razer / MSI (gaming): $400–$1,500+ for recent RTX configs
- Dell XPS / HP Spectre / Lenovo ThinkPad X1: $200–$800
- Microsoft Surface: $150–$1,300
- Asus ROG / TUF: $200–$900
- Mainstream (Inspiron, Pavilion, IdeaPad): $50–$400
- Chromebook: $20–$200
What Affects Your Laptop's Value Most
- Age — laptops lose 20–40% of value per year in the first 3 years
- GPU — dedicated graphics (RTX 4070+) holds value far better than integrated
- RAM & storage — 16GB+ RAM and 512GB+ SSD command higher offers
- Condition — working with no cosmetic damage gets the highest price; cracked screens reduce it but we still buy
- Brand reputation — Apple, Dell XPS, and Razer depreciate slower than budget brands
