Home / Sell Laptops
Got a PayMore offer? Bring it in — we'll beat it.
Whether it's a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro with an Intel chip or Apple Silicon, or a Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Surface, or Chromebook — a laptop sitting unused in your drawer is money sitting unused. Bring it in as it is, with or without the charger, and get paid during that same visit.
Walk in — no appointment needed. Round Rock · Bastrop · South Austin.
No account needed. No photos to upload. No fees. We make you an offer in the store, on the spot — and there's no obligation to sell if you don't like it.
A laptop's value is in the details a phone doesn't have — the chip inside it, the storage, whether the keyboard and trackpad still feel right, and how well the battery holds up. These are the laptops we make offers on every day. If yours opens and closes and has a keyboard, start here.
13-inch, 14-inch, and 16-inch MacBook Pro models — the Intel models with the Touch Bar and the Apple Silicon models with M-series Pro and Max chips. Storage, chip, and screen size all affect the offer, so bring the USB-C or MagSafe charger if you still have it, and we'll go from there.
11-inch, 13-inch, and 15-inch MacBook Air models — the older Intel Airs and the M1, M2, M3, and newer Apple Silicon Airs. That thin one you bought for school, work, or travel but barely open anymore is exactly the one to bring in — even if the battery no longer lasts the way it used to.
Dell XPS, Inspiron, Latitude, and Alienware, plus HP Pavilion, Envy, Spectre, and EliteBook. We buy everyday laptops, office laptops, and gaming laptops with the bigger screens and fans to match — whether they're working or have a cracked screen and a keyboard that's seen better days.
Lenovo ThinkPad, IdeaPad, and Yoga; ASUS Zenbook and ROG; Acer Aspire and Swift; and Microsoft Surface Laptop and Surface Pro — bring the Type Cover keyboard with a Surface Pro if you have it. If it runs Windows and folds open, bring it in.
Chromebooks from HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, and Samsung — the school Chromebook the kids outgrew, the family one that lived on the kitchen counter, and the spare one in the drawer. Bring them one at a time, or bring the whole matching set from a classroom clean-out.
Flip it over — most laptops have the model name and serial number on a sticker underneath, and MacBooks list it under “About This Mac.” Can't find it, or your laptop won't turn on? Bring it in as it is, or call 281-739-4316, describe what's on the lid, and we'll help you from there.
Upgraded the whole house or the whole team? Don't ship the laptops one by one — bring them all in on one trip.
On a laptop, condition is the whole machine — the keys, the trackpad, the hinge, the battery, the ports. A flaw in one of them lowers the offer; it doesn't end it. Here's how to think about yours before you come in:
Selling a laptop involves a few more items than selling a phone. Here's the list — only the laptop itself is a must-have.
Just the laptop, as it sits. You don't need to charge it first, wipe down the keyboard, or hide the crack in the screen — bring it in exactly as it came out of your closet, desk, or backpack.
Bring the charger it came with — MagSafe or USB-C on a MacBook, or the barrel-plug or USB-C charger on a Windows laptop — plus the original box if you kept it. A matching charger can help your offer. Lost it years ago? That's common with laptops; come in anyway.
Before you come in, there's a bit of prep that's specific to laptops: copy the files, photos, and documents you want to keep — a laptop can hold years of them — then, if you can, sign out of iCloud on a MacBook or out of your Microsoft account on a Windows laptop, and remove your login password or PIN. We can't buy a laptop that's still signed in and locked to your account — see below. Stuck on any of this? Call 281-739-4316, and we'll talk you through it.
It's a short list with no surprises — and for laptops, it mostly comes down to accounts and passwords. If yours falls into one of these categories, we can't take it — no hard feelings.
We don't buy stolen laptops, in any condition, ever.
A MacBook still signed in and locked to someone's iCloud account can't be sold to us. If it's yours, sign out of iCloud before you come in.
We can't buy a laptop that's stuck behind a login password, PIN, or account password that can't be removed. If you can, remove your password before you come in.
No hunting for a box big enough for a laptop. No waiting for a check in the mail. Just three steps, and you're usually paid within 10–15 minutes, start to finish.
No appointment needed, and no need to book ahead. Walk into Round Rock, Bastrop, or South Austin during store hours with your laptop — and its charger, if you have it.
We look at your laptop's model, chip, storage, and condition — keyboard, screen, battery, and everything else — and make you an offer right there. There's no obligation — if you don't like it, you walk out with your laptop.
Cash, Zelle, or Cash App — your choice, on the spot. Not a gift card, not store credit, not a bill credit.
A laptop is the worst thing to sell by mail: it's big, the screen is fragile, the charger is easy to forget in the box, and the quote can drop after it arrives because of a battery you'd forgotten was worn out. Here, you hand it to a real person in a real store, hear one offer that covers the whole machine, and leave with the money.
ecoATM kiosks only buy phones and tablets — they don't take laptops at all. Got a PayMore number for your laptop? Bring it in — we'll beat it. That's the deal, in writing.
Cash, Zelle, or Cash App before you leave. No gift cards, no store credit, no waiting for a transfer to clear days later.
A laptop holds years of files, photos, and saved passwords — every laptop we buy gets a free data wipe before resale. Back up what you want to keep first, because once it's wiped, those files are gone.
All three of our Texas locations buy laptops every day we're open. Hours: Mon–Sat 10 AM – 6 PM at all three stores; Sun 12 PM – 5 PM at Round Rock and South Austin — Bastrop closed Sundays.
Mon–Sat 10 AM – 6 PM, Sun 12 PM – 5 PM

Straight answers. For anything else, call 281-739-4316.
It depends on the model, chip, storage, and condition. Your exact offer depends on whether yours is an Intel MacBook or an Apple Silicon model, how many cycles are on the battery, and whether the screen is cracked — so a real person in a real store gives you the exact offer on the spot. Bring your laptop in, and we'll make you a real offer on the spot. And if PayMore already gave you a number, bring that too — we'll beat it.
Back up everything you want to keep before you come in — documents, photos, anything saved on the drive. Every laptop we buy gets a free data wipe before resale, and once it's wiped, those files cannot be recovered. If your browser saved passwords on it, changing your important passwords after the sale is a sensible extra step.
Yes. A missing charger is one of the most common laptop problems there is — chargers get left at offices, schools, and old apartments. Bring the matching MagSafe, USB-C, or barrel-plug charger if you have it, because it can help your offer — but not having a charger or the box is no reason to stay home.
Yes. Batteries wear down with use — that's what laptops do. A battery that only lasts an hour, or a laptop that needs to stay on the charger, lowers the offer; it doesn't make the laptop unsellable. Bring it in — charger included, if you have it — and we'll make you an offer on the whole machine.
Yes. Sticky or missing keys, a trackpad that clicks unevenly, a lid with a loose or creaking hinge — these are common laptop problems, and we see them every day. They factor into the offer, but they don't stop us from making one.
Yes. Cracked screens, dented lids, missing keys, batteries that barely hold a charge, laptops that won't turn on — bring them in as they are. Condition affects the offer, but a broken laptop is not a worthless laptop.
Most laptop sales take 10–15 minutes, from walking in to getting paid. A stack of laptops takes a little longer than a single one.
Your choice: Cash, Zelle, or Cash App, paid on the spot before you leave. We don't pay in gift cards or store credit.
No. Walk into Round Rock, Bastrop, or South Austin during store hours — Mon–Sat 10 AM – 6 PM, Sun 12 PM – 5 PM (Bastrop closed Sundays) — and we'll take care of you.
Not while it's locked — we can't buy iCloud-locked or password-locked laptops, or stolen laptops. If it's your laptop, sign out of iCloud on a MacBook or out of your Microsoft account on a Windows laptop, and remove your login password or PIN before you come in — then it's a normal sale. If you're not sure how, call us and we'll talk you through it.
Yes — bring as many as you have, and bring the chargers too where you have them. We buy from families clearing out old school and work laptops, and from businesses with a stack of laptops they no longer use.
Yes — you need to be 18 or older and have a valid photo ID with you. Bring it along with the laptop and we can pay you on the same visit.
Got a PayMore offer? Bring it in — we'll beat it. Walk in with the laptop, walk out with Cash, Zelle, or Cash App in 10–15 minutes.
