It’s all but certain that next week will bring the biggest update the MacBook Pro line has seen in years. That means now is the perfect time to sell your current laptop before it drops in value.

Although new MacBook releases don’t usually affect the value of older models as dramatically as new iPhones do, with such a substantial update in the works, we predict a steep decline in the value of older MacBooks.

The Retina MacBook Pros and 12-inch MacBooks could drop in value by several hundred dollars, while older MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs could see their values quickly approach zero — it’s been nearly 10 years since the first Air was released!
