Does the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro hold its value better over three years?

The MacBook Air beats the Pro on resale percentage, retaining 55-65% of its original value versus 45-55% for the Pro after three years. The Air starts cheaper and demand stays strong, making it the smarter financial move if resale matters to you. Higher-end Pro models hold value better than base Pros, but they cost more upfront. If you don’t need the Pro’s performance, you’re leaving money on the table at purchase and resale.
