Apple publishes one trade-in figure for each MacBook family, the most it pays for the newest model in the best condition. An older MacBook Pro 16-inch (Intel, 2019) gets less, so the tool leaves Apple's figure out of the upgrade cost and uses local quotes.
Is it worth upgrading from the MacBook Pro 16-inch (Intel, 2019) to the MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5 Pro)?
A new MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5 Pro) with 24GB / 1TB costs £2,999 in the United Kingdom. After selling yours at the best local quote, it costs £2,676 (5 Oct 2026). Our default verdict: UPGRADE.
Your MacBook Pro 16-inch (Intel, 2019) does not get macOS 27. Upgrading makes sense.
- Your Mac does not get macOS 27, which runs only on Apple silicon. Apple usually sends security fixes to the previous version for a while, but new features and app support will move on without it.
- It is 7 years old.
What the MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5 Pro) adds
- The M5 Pro chip, against the Intel Core i7/i9 in yours.
- Apple Intelligence, which your Mac cannot run.
- A Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion.
- Wi-Fi 7, against Wi-Fi 5 on yours.
- At least 24GB of memory, against 16GB in yours.
Your own result depends on memory, SSD, battery, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your Mac.
