Not sure how much your old laptop is worth? Laptop resale values in India depend on several key factors — brand, age, processor, RAM, storage, and condition. This guide helps you estimate your laptop's current market value in 2026.
The resale value of a laptop is determined by:
| Laptop Age | % of Original Price You Can Expect | Example (₹60,000 laptop) |
|---|---|---|
| 6 months old | 70–80% | ₹42,000 – ₹48,000 |
| 1 year old | 55–65% | ₹33,000 – ₹39,000 |
| 2 years old | 40–50% | ₹24,000 – ₹30,000 |
| 3 years old | 28–38% | ₹17,000 – ₹23,000 |
| 4 years old | 18–25% | ₹11,000 – ₹15,000 |
| 5+ years old | 8–15% | ₹5,000 – ₹9,000 |
⚠️ Important: Apple MacBooks depreciate MUCH slower than Windows laptops. A 3-year-old MacBook Air M1 still retains 55–65% of its value vs 30–40% for an equivalent Windows laptop.
