We recently reported that Apple is working on a 12-inch MacBook Air model to appease those who find the 11-inch model too small and the 13-inch model too large. Maybe your MacBook Air just isn’t cutting it regardless of the size? If you decide to trade an 11-inch or 13-inch in towards a Surface Pro 3, Microsoft will pay you up to $650.
That’s a hefty chunk of change, but Microsoft is serious about getting the Surface Pro 3 into your hands. Newer MacBook Air models can probably command a higher price if you decide to resell them on your own rather than trade them in, but for those with older laptops, the $650 that Microsoft is offering is a pretty sweet deal.
As of this writing, the only Surface Pro 3 model available is the 128GB SSD model, which will run you $999, but that’s only $350 with the full trade-in amount. Keep in mind that that’s up to $650, far from a guaranteed amount. Still, it’s a really good incentive for folks who have been thinking about the Microsoft’s latest to give it a whirl.
This offer is good at Microsoft Stores. There is a $799 version of the Surface Pro 3 on the way, but there’s no way of knowing whether or not this deal will be available once that unit hits.
