Can I trade my MacBook Air for a new MacBook Air that just came out?

I was wondering that I bought the MacBook Air in November of 2010 and I would like to get the new MacBook Air can I just do a trade from Best Buy or Apply?

Well... you can return your Air as part of Apple's recycle program and get an Apple Gift Card for it's value.  Unfortunately, they (well, a company that does this sort of thing) sets the "value" which is nothing close to what you would be able to get on your own:

I don't think anyone intended to insult you.  You sort of implied in your original post that you should be able to exchange something that you purchased 8 months ago.  In fairness, I'm aware of very few places that offer a return policy that liberal.  When you clarified that you could pay up front to be guaranteed a certain percentage of the original value over time... that certainly made more sense (although Apple does not offer the exact thing... but only what I had posted the link to above).
Having said all that... when I purchased my Air, it was only about a month or so before the new ones came out.  I knew that the new ones were coming out.  I was actually concerned about the loss of the dedicated GPU and the fairly significant drop in GPU performance with the integrated Intel processor.  Granted, the new processors are about twice as powerful... that's significant.  But, I don't really do anything processor intensive on my machine.  So doubling the power for me was a non-issue.  I do just want the OS to run smoothly and fluidly and the nVidia GPU in the machine that you (and I) have does a great job.  So not only did I know that new Airs were coming out, I bought mine because I didn't want the newer model.  Of course the new Airs have Thunderbolt as well... but I'm not expecting that to take off for a while yet (and USB 2.0 has worked fine for me for years).  If you do processor intensive stuff, you could have good reason for wanting the newly released Air (although in getting the last model, I would expect you did't have heavy duty processing needs).  I personally am happy I have the previous model and the release of the new model does not devalue mine in the least.

  • Can I trade my iPhone 4 for a newer generation?

    Okay, I have a iPhone 4. I want to trade it in for a newer generation. I was wondering if i can do that.

    You can bring it to an Apple store and trade it in for store credit; you may get more money if you choose to sell it yourself. You may also want to check with your carrier to see what options they offer also.
    You can use the store credit/proceeds from the sale to buy a new phone.

  • Can you trade a broken ipad for a new one?

    Can you trade in a broken iPad for a new one?

    Well, I think my answer was more accurate.  The answer is yes rather than no.  Also, the fee you mention must only be a possible fee.  Given that the original iPad was only launched 14 months ago, odds are good the OP is still under warranty.

  • Is there any incentive from Apple for people that bought the Ipad Air just before the Ipad Air 2 just came out?

    It looks prety frustrating knowing that a better and cheaper ipad came out just a few days after buying the "old" one

    Yes... and not: Technology is always moving forward, of course. But is rare that new and more performant products are cheaper than previous ones. When that happens, some companies decide to give updates (with softwares) or some gifts to the last buyers of the previous version (I remember that happened once with the iphone, when Apple decided to give some money back to people that bought the previeus version in the previous 2 months). In my case it came out 3 weeks after I bought it, then no possible return for me. However thanks for the answer! of course is not a big deal...

  • Can I trade an older device for a newer device?

    I currently have an iPod 4th gen. and I was just curious if I could trade it in for maybe like a store credit towards a newer 5th gen. iPod?

    Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.

  • HT5624 How can I track the MACbook Pro that just used my apple ID to log into iCloud?  (I just got an email stating that someone just used it?)

    Here is the email:
    Your Apple ID ([email protected]) was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13".  I had a MacBook Pro stolen in January and I'm wondering if someone was using that stolen computer to login??
    Anyway to track the computer trying to log in using my other Apple ID?

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in System preferences>icloud), then you can try to track it.  Using another computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the mac is listed as "offline", then you can't track it.

  • Does anyone know about the update that just came out for the s3 a few days ago.

    does it fix all of the bugs that people like me were having with 4.3 like apps crashing, huge battery drain and phone lagging. I have not heard anything about it and I want to hear more about it before I start to download the update in case it completely messes up my phone. I hope it fixes my problems and does not give me anymore problems.

    It simply just allows roaming on the Canadian Telus network.  That's all folks,

  • Can I trade my ipad 2 for new air ipad?

    Can I trade my ipad 2 for new air ipad?

    No. Apple does not take trade ins.
    You can sell your iPad and use the money to buy a new one.
    Alternatively you can use one of Apple's recycling partners to get an Apple Store Gift card for a fraction of the iPad's worth and use that in any Apple store to buy a new iPad.

    You can get an estimate for your iPad here:

  • Can you trade in your iPad for another one???.......... If you can would you get your money back?????

    Can you trade in your iPad for another one???.......... If you can would you get your money back?????

    Generally, no.  You have 2 weeks from purchase.   But you have options. Www.gazelle.com will make you an offer. Sell it to them, then go buy what you want.  What is the issue?  Just trading for a different machine will get you only what you had in the first place.

    The genius bar folks will be glad to help...and if you have backed up your iPhone in iCloud they will restore the backup to the replacement iPhone for you while you wait.
    Call or email for an appointment, you don't want to add to your frustration by standing around waiting for someone to get free to help you.

  • I just purchased a new SSD for my mac and I wanted to do a fresh/clean install on the SSD, like if my Macbook just came out of the box. How do I do that?

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This will install the version of OS X that originally came with your model if you have a model that supports Internet Recovery - 2010 models and later: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.
