I want to trade in my M1 2021 Pro. It currently has a 750 dollars trade value. It meets all conditions for a trade in. It has a minor scratch in the left palmrest area. Do you guys think this classfies as a minor scratch?

I can’t tell if you’re being serious.

That aside, though, maybe this doesn’t affect performance, but you see it every time you use the laptop. That’s pretty bad.

The only people who can tell you if you’d still get the 750 are Apple, though. If I were you, I’d take it to an Apple store and talk to them. You might want to skip the part where chatgpt said it’s minor, though ;)

It probably hallucinated and thought that's a dent on a car, which would be minor. For a dent on a laptop, and at that location where the user will constantly see it, it's a major cosmetic flaw.

Let's think about this another way.

If someone was selling that to you, what discount would you demand due to the state it's in now?

Treble that reduction (at least) and take that off the $750 valuation.

Voila!
