Why sell to us

What is SellYourMac.ae?

SellYourMac.ae is a UAE-licensed Apple device buy-back service operated by Azizi Technologies in Dubai Media City, trading since 2013. We pay cash for used MacBook laptops, Air, Pro and Neo, across every emirate, with free doorstep pickup, written 1-5 day quotes and UAE bank transfer on the pickup days. The service is open to individuals, agencies and schools anywhere in the UAE, with 550,000+ devices bought to date.

01

Priced by chip, not by brand name

M1 to M5, base, Pro or Max, RAM and storage: each configuration has its own figure on the live UAE ledger, confirmed in writing.

02

Air, Pro, Neo and Intel, one desk

From a 2015 Intel Air to a 16-inch M5 Max Pro. Mixed lots with iMac, Mac mini or iPad go in one pickup and one transfer.

03

Erased the Apple way

Erase All Content and Settings on Apple Silicon, full disk erase on Intel, Activation Lock cleared. Written wipe note for company machines.

04

Fleet and school desk

Five or more MacBooks get on-site inspection, a corporate VAT invoice and a per-device wipe report through the bulk programme.

How it works

Five steps for your MacBook. Pickup can be the same day in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman when you book early; other emirates on a day you choose. Payment is made at the door on the pickup day.

  1. 01

    Send the details in the quote form

    Fill in the quote form with your MacBook model, storage, condition and UAE area. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. 02

    Receive the AED quote

    The written quote arrives on WhatsApp, valid 1-5 days. The desk explains how the number was built so there are no surprises on collection.

  3. 03

    Free doorstep pickup

    Pick a time window. An insured courier collects from any UAE address: home, office, hotel, or Dubai International Airport short-stay.

  4. 04

    Inspection and data wipe

    On-the-spot check against the written quote. If it matches, we run a certified data wipe and prepare payment. A wipe note is available on request.

  5. 05

    Paid on pickup day

    UAE bank transfer (Emirates NBD, FAB, ADIB, Mashreq, Liv) or cash on collection, at the door on the pickup day. Confirmed before the courier leaves.

What we check

Six factors, in the order the desk applies them. Entering them in the quote form lets the desk return a precise written quote.

MacBook Pro M5

Chip and tier

M1, M2, M3, M4 or M5, and within those base, Pro or Max. Chip tier is the single biggest factor in the offer; the exact amount is confirmed on WhatsApp.

5 gensM1 to M5
MacBook Pro M4

Storage and RAM

256GB is the base. Stepping up to 512GB, 1TB or 2TB lifts the offer, and RAM jumps to 16, 24, 36 or 48GB lift it further.

2TBtop tier
MacBook Air M5

Battery health and cycles

A battery above Apple's service threshold earns the full quote. Lower health or a high cycle count takes a deduction that is stated in the WhatsApp quote, not at the door.

Healthand cycles
MacBook Air M4

Cosmetic grading

Excellent, Good, Fair or Damaged, graded from your photos before pickup so collection is a handover, not an inspection.

4grades
MacBook Pro M3

Activation Lock status

Find My and iCloud must be off before payment. The courier walks you through it at the door if needed, at no charge.

Pre-pickupno fee
MacBook Air M3

Box, charger and receipt

Original box, charger and documentation add a small bonus depending on the model year. Never required; mention them in the quote form.

"I had an excellent experience with SellYourMac. I messaged them in the morning with my Mac’s details and photos, and they came to my place the same day. They inspected the Mac in about five minutes and paid me the exact amount we had agreed on beforehand in cash."

"The team were really helpful! We thought we had no value in our old tech and in the end we got some reasonable money in return for things we're just going to put in the recycle bin. Really attentive and transfered funds quick after inspecting the tech."

FAQ

MacBook FAQ

Straight answers for UAE sellers. Each answer can stand alone.

It depends on chip, storage, RAM, battery health and cosmetics, so SellYourMac.ae confirms the figure in writing on WhatsApp rather than publishing a list. A 16-inch MacBook Pro with a Max chip and 1TB sits at the top of the ledger; an M1 Air in Good condition still sells. The written quote holds for 1-5 days and is the price paid at pickup.

Every MacBook generation. MacBook Air M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5 in 13 and 15 inch. MacBook Pro M1 through M5 across base, Pro and Max chips in 14 and 16 inch. The 2026 MacBook Neo 13 inch with the A18 Pro chip. Intel MacBook Air and Pro from 2015 to 2020 are also bought, priced below the equivalent Apple Silicon machine.

Same-time bank transfer - sent the moment your device is verified. The transfer is sent at the door on the pickup day, before the courier leaves, in every emirate. Cash on collection is available if you ask when booking. Emirates NBD, FAB, ADIB, Mashreq and Liv all accepted.

Yes. An insured courier collects at your door in all 7 emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. There is no minimum device value and no charge if you decline at the door. Same-day pickup is possible in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman when you book early; other emirates are collected on a day you choose.

MacBook Pro pays more in absolute terms on the same chip generation because of the Pro and Max chips, more RAM and the deeper professional buyer pool in the UAE. MacBook Air units move faster and are priced mostly on generation, storage and battery. Exact figures for both are confirmed free on WhatsApp; send the model, chip and storage.

Yes. SellYourMac.ae buys hundreds of broken MacBooks a year: cracked screens, broken keyboards, dead pixels, swollen batteries, liquid damage and logic-board faults. The written quote reflects the repair or salvage cost and is explained line by line, so a damaged MacBook still turns into cash without a marketplace listing.

Sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My before pickup; the courier can walk you through it. Apple Silicon machines are erased with Erase All Content and Settings; Intel machines get a full disk erase. Activation Lock is cleared before resale and a written wipe note is available on request, useful for company-owned MacBooks.

The quote arrives in writing on WhatsApp with the reasoning, holds for 1-5 days, and is the price paid at your door when the MacBook matches your description. Any difference is explained on the spot before handover, and you are free to decline. 70 Google reviews at 5.0★ sit on our Business Profile.

Yes. Up to four MacBooks go in a single doorstep pickup with one itemised quote and one transfer. For five or more, the bulk desk arranges on-site inspection, a corporate VAT invoice and a per-device wipe report. Mention every model, chip and storage in the quote form so each unit is priced before the courier arrives.

Apple Trade In pays store credit tied to a new Apple purchase. A marketplace listing costs time, no-shows and a buyer inspecting at your door. SellYourMac.ae specialises in Apple only, quotes in writing, collects free in every emirate, wipes the machine and pays the same day, with no meetings and no haggling. Exact figure on WhatsApp.
FAQ

People also ask

Long-tail MacBook questions UAE sellers type into Google and ChatGPT.

Usually yes. Used MacBook prices in the UAE step down in the weeks after a new generation ships as upgrades flood the market. A written quote from SellYourMac.ae holds for 1-5 days, so you can lock the current level now and still buy the new model when it arrives. Send chip, storage and battery cycle count in the quote form.

The 16-inch pays more than the equivalent 14-inch on the same chip tier, and the gap is widest at the Max tier where the larger battery and display matter most to UAE video and photo buyers. Both are priced from the live ledger by chip, RAM, storage and battery health. Exact figures confirmed free on WhatsApp.

Yes. SellYourMac.ae still buys Intel MacBook Pro 13, 15 and 16 inch and MacBook Air 13 inch from 2018 to 2020, priced below the equivalent Apple Silicon machine. Battery health matters more on Intel units because replacement batteries cost more. Fill in the quote form with the year, processor and storage for a written figure.

Higher cycle counts and a battery health below Apple's service threshold lower the offer, by more on Pro models with larger batteries. Check it under Apple menu, System Settings, Battery, Battery Health. State the cycle count and maximum capacity in the quote form and the written quote already reflects them; there is no surprise at pickup.
