Ok, so: I love Mac. I use it since 2007 until today and I think it is the best machine Apple had and has. I bought an iMac 2020 i7 27", with 8 gb RAM, 512 gb SSD and a Radeon Pro 5500 XT (8 GB) the same year.

OK. I noticed Apple launched its new Macbook M5. I went to their website and tried to "TRADE IN" my iMac 2020. Do you know how much is my computer worth to Apple? 200 USD. YES. 200 bucks for a 27" screen all-in-one computer that Apple charged to me more than 1,500 USD 6 years ago.

Is it fair? Come on, Apple... you can do that better, don't you? what do you think? impressions? opinions? I read you.

@leoschuldiner23 Their trade-in program has been a joke for quite some time. Sorry.

@m1rk0 didn't know until now! What a scam!

@leoschuldiner23 Really. The last time i tried to trade-in something was in 2016 and already it was a joke to me. I then sold my last iMac on the private market.

@leoschuldiner23 I mean it's 6 year old hardware and even for 2020, it's a low spec computer.
If you tried selling a non-apple computer with those specs, it would probably be worth the same.
I just don't know why they would even offer a trade-in progam, if they aren't giving you any money for it

@marco I'm not sure if it is a "low spec computer". Its screen is a 27" liquid retina, its video is brutal (even today), a 512 GB SSD nowadays is more than enogh (considering most "basic" M-macbooks have 256)... I still work in music production very well with this machine! (and for sure at least a few more years).

But yeah: I think the same about the Apple's "trade-in" program. #sucks
