Microsoft offers up to $1,000 trade-in for MacBooks toward Surface Laptop Ultra

Microsoft launched a US trade-in program letting MacBook owners get up to $1,000 off the new Surface Laptop Ultra. Actual payouts are far lower: a 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch nets just $45, while a 2024 M4 model gets $755.

• The $1,000 maximum applies only to newer, high-spec MacBooks
• A 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch (8GB/256GB) is valued at just $45
• A 2024 MacBook Pro 14-inch with M4 (16GB/1TB) earns $755
• The offer appears to be US-only
