MacBook Pro depreciation analysis

Analyze how fast Apple Silicon MacBook Pro configurations lose value in the secondary market.

Depreciation factors

MacBook Pro configurations lose roughly 15-20% of their value in the first year, after which depreciation slows to approximately 8-10% annually. Base configurations with lower RAM (e.g. 8GB/18GB) experience faster depreciation due to thinner long-term demand than upgraded specs (e.g., 36GB+ RAM).
