MacBook Air M1 vs M2 — Which Holds Trade-In Value Better in Tamil Nadu?

In Tamil Nadu, the MacBook Air M2 fetches a higher trade-in price than the M1 in absolute terms, but the M1 holds its remaining value more steadily — it has already taken its steepest depreciation. Here's the full comparison.

The numbers

Model

Storage

Good Condition

MacBook Air M2	256GB	₹62,000–72,000
MacBook Air M2	512GB	₹70,000–82,000
MacBook Air M1	256GB	₹48,000–55,000
MacBook Air M1	512GB	₹55,000–62,000

The M2 sells for more because it's newer, with a larger display, MagSafe and a better camera. The M1, being older, has settled into a stable resale band — so if you own one, you're not losing value quickly.

• Own an M1? It holds steady, but selling before a new chip still gets you the best price.
