The 2-in-1 war continues between Microsoft and Apple. As of today, the Redmond giant is providing a new incentive for consumers to trade in their old MacBook devices for up to $650 off of their own Surface line. According to the trade-in page, you can send in almost any type of MacBook Air or MacBook Pro of varying value to receive the discount.
The deal is only available for retail and online stores in the United States (also including Puerto Rico). After selecting your device from the online store page (or taking in your MacBook to the brick and mortar shop) you will be eligible to purchase a Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book with a significant cut of the original price tag.

Here are the qualifications for your MacBook devices:
- Must be fully functional
- Battery must hold charge and not be required to be plugged in to operate
- Must not have any damaged, broken, or missing components
- Cannot have been modified and warranty seal must be intact
- Cannot be password protected
- Must come with original chargers and accessories
If you’ve been looking for that extra nudge to push you towards dropping your MacBook for a Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book, this might be the time to do it. The incentive is only lasting until November 7, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. PST or until they run out of Surface stock. Otherwise, once you receive a redemption code, it will be valid until Dember 15, 2016.

If you’re looking to ditch your Mac and join the Surface family, now is the best time to do so. Microsoft just launched both the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop in 25 markets worldwide, and in what can be seen as a push to win over Apple users, is also now offering up to an $850 discount on most Surface devices if you trade in old Apple iPad or MacBook.
The offer was initially announced in the ending of this post to the Windows Experience Blog. It will run from June 15, 2017, to July 31, 2017, while supplies last, and is only available in Microsoft retail stores in the US, Puerto Rico and Canada. While in store, Microsoft Store associates will even help you find the right Surface device, and thanks to the Surface Migration Assistant app, will also help your files, pictures, music and settings to your new Surface device.
You can visit this link to check for your local Microsoft Store. It is, however, worth noting that your old device, Mac, or iPad must must power on, the battery must hold charge and not be required to be plugged in to operate. It also must be in fully functional, working condition without broken/missing components. All original accessories, and chargers must also be included, and the device must not be password protected, and also have original warranty seal and hard drive.
Microsoft is no stranger to these trade-in offers which entice MacBook users. The company previously ran a similar trade-in program about 8 months ago ahead of an October hardware event in NYC. In fact, that previous offer was perhaps quite popular, as it was extended right as it was set to expire.
