Earn credit for your next Portable One purchase for the value of your old computer.

How much is your old tech worth? Calculate your trade-in value easily on-line no strings attached!

Through the Portable One Trade-in Program, you are helping the environment by extending the useful life of products that have value in the secondary electronics market. Whether it’s a Mac or a PC—working or non-working—it doesn’t matter. We’ll take it and determine if it qualifies for reuse. If it does, that means your computer, tablet or iPhone, has monetary value that we’ll convert to credit towards future purchase at PortableOne.com.

Here’s how it works:

• Use the tool above to tell us about your computer, tablet or cell phone.
• Accept your estimate and ship your device in the pre-paid shipping box provided to you from PowerOn.
• Portable One contracts with PowerON, who will estimate the fair market value of your device. PowerOn will also send you a box and a prepaid shipping label so there is no cost to you.
• Pack your device carefully, and send it off.
• Receive your Portable One credit for use on your next order.

After PowerOn processes your trade-in, Portable One will contact and inform you about earned credit you can use for purchase at PortableOne.com.
