Clearing Laptop ?

[Washac]

If I give my Macbook Pro to somebody what is the best way to clear it and make it like it is a new one that has to be set up ?

Delete all partitions and perform a clean install of the latest os supported by the Macbook.

Here is what Apple recommends:

Thank you those replies answered my question

OP:

Don't forget to "DEauthorize" the Mac first. Go to iTunes, etc., and disable any accounts you had previously set up that are "linked" to that particular Mac.

Otherwise, the new owner could run into problems...

I thought I've read that encrypting and then unencrypting the disk will leave no meaningful data to scrape on the disk. I may be mis-remembering.
