Upgrading to the latest and greatest Macbook is absurdly cheap since you can sell your old model for close to the original price Oh how I wish that were true.

Oh how I wish that were true. I have a 2012 15" Macbook Retina (8gb/256gb) that I bought for $2200. The typical price on eBay is around $1200. So, I can get about half, which is your lament about the XPS 13.
- nonuby 12y agoFor a three year old, out of warranty, used, old laptop thats pretty impressive
- 72deluxe 12y agoI forget that 2012 is now 3 years old. My MacBook is a mid2012 non-retina MBP (with all the ports on it) and it's still absolutely fine but I know in the fashionable computer world, it's ancient. Still fetches a good resale value though.
- abrowne 12y agoThat one is a weird case because it's still the latest model of "classic"/non-retina MBPs. And, probably, the last.
- wldlyinaccurate 12y agoYeah, I think the high resale value only applies to previous-generation machines. Basically, for a couple hundred dollars each year (plus the hassle of using eBay) you can upgrade to a brand-new machine.
