Analysis
Over the past 12 months, the 2017 MacBook Pro 15″ featuring the Intel Core i7-7920HQ processor has experienced a predictable but steady price decline. This trend reflects the growing dominance of newer Apple Silicon laptops, which dramatically outperform older Intel-based models in performance-per-watt and battery life.
Units with larger SSD capacities or upgraded RAM generally commanded slightly higher resale prices. However, regardless of configuration, all models have consistently dropped in value, following the typical lifecycle of aging hardware in a fast-evolving ecosystem.
For budget-conscious buyers who still need an Intel MacBook Pro for compatibility reasons—such as running Windows natively via Boot Camp or certain legacy software—these used models represent an excellent bargain. However, users should be mindful of older battery life, thermal challenges, and the likely reduced long-term software support compared to M1, M2, and M3 Macs. Pricing Source: Swappa
