The Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (2019), released in May 2019 (model A1990), was the top-tier large-screen Intel MacBook Pro of its generation — a desktop-replacement workstation built around 9th-gen 8-core processing and dedicated AMD Radeon Pro graphics. Every 2019 15-inch unit ships with the Touch Bar, Touch ID, the Apple T2 security chip, a True Tone Retina display, and four Thunderbolt 3 ports, so there's no port-count or chip-architecture split to untangle here. What does swing your offer significantly is the CPU tier (6-core i7 vs 8-core i9) and especially the discrete GPU, which ranges from a standard Radeon Pro 555X up to the high-end Vega 20. Sold in Silver and Space Gray aluminum, your exact configuration sets the resale value. Select your components using our tool above to view an instant cash offer for your exact device.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have the 2019 15-inch MacBook Pro, and which GPU it has?
Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner and choose "About This Mac" — it will read "MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)" and list your exact processor and graphics chip (for example "Radeon Pro 560X" or "Radeon Pro Vega 20"). The model number on the bottom case is A1990 across the entire 2019 15-inch line. Because the discrete GPU is one of the biggest value drivers, confirming whether you have a Radeon Pro 555X/560X or the upgraded Vega 16/20 is worth the extra check. Our guide to finding your laptop's model number walks through it.
02 Can I trade in a MacBook Pro with cosmetic wear or hardware issues?
Yes. We buy in every condition. Whether your MacBook runs flawlessly, has the well-known butterfly-keyboard key issues, holds little charge on an aged battery, shows dents or lid scuffs, or has a cracked screen, adjusting the condition grading options above will lock in a firm cash value for your exact device.
03 Do I need to wipe my Mac and sign out of my Apple ID before shipping?
Please back up your files, then sign out of iCloud, iMessage, and your Apple ID, and turn off "Find My Mac" before boxing the laptop — this releases the Activation Lock tied to the T2 security chip, which is essential for a smooth trade-in. The SSD is soldered to the logic board, so do not attempt to remove it; our team performs certified data sanitization on every incoming drive. Review our data erasure protocols for full details.
04 Which configurations raise my 2019 15-inch trade-in value the most?
The discrete graphics chip is the largest single factor: the upgraded Vega 20 and Vega 16 (with HBM2 memory) command a stronger payout than the standard Radeon Pro 555X or 560X. The 8-core Core i9 (especially the top i9-9980HK) outvalues the 6-core i7, and because RAM and storage are both soldered, a factory 32GB RAM kit and a larger SSD (1TB, 2TB, or 4TB) each lift your final offer. A maxed i9 / Vega 20 / 32GB / large-SSD unit yields the strongest quote.
05 What is the turnaround process for my cash payout?
Once your MacBook Pro arrives at our diagnostics lab and our intake team completes functional testing, payment is approved within two working days. We pay via fast electronic options, including PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp, as well as a traditional check mailed to you. Your prepaid shipping label is completely free and fully insured from door to door.
