Apple Late 2021 MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Pro chip, 16-inch, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Space Gray (Renewed)

This MacBook Pro 2021 (with M1Pro processor, 16" screen with 1TB of storage) is an incredible deal. This machine sold for roughly $2600 when new, but I got it from the Renewed program for $850 in November, 2025. It arrived in perfect condition. Truly like new. No wear or marks anywhere, and with battery still at 91% with 99 cycles. Given Mac batteries are good for 500 to 1000 cycles, that's good for four more years. The screen is as wonderful as all MacBook Pros (way better than my 2024 M4 MacBook Air). It even came with the original Apple charger and a like new cable (also Apple, not third party). I have nothing but superlatives to say about this purchase. Delighted, which is a rare thing in the world of buying used equipment. The keyboard, which I expected to be the same as my 2020 M1 MacBook Air and 2024 MacBook Air 15", seems silkier, quieter and better than either of them. No wear visible. Clearly the Pros are a step up from the Airs in all ways. It's not quite as snappy as my M4 Air, but is better than my M1 Air. Perfectly usable. But when it comes to Photoshop, it is superior to my M4 Air given it has more CPU performance cores and graphics cores due to the M1Pro chip. It's heavy, but this will be used as my Photoshop machine for home use. Screen quality has this extra quality to it compared to both Airs, and brightness is close to my 2024 M4 Air 15", but the colors and sense of depth and vividness greatly exceed the M4 Air. It's truly an amazing screen. Don't know how it was used in its prior life, but its amazing to me that a four year old machine can still outperform a late model one when it comes to graphics (although its hardly as good as a 2025 MacBook Pro, but the new Pro 16" sells in the mid-2000 dollar range). Other than some increased brightness, the current Pro screen is the same as my 2021. Mini-Led with variable refresh rates up to 120hz.

So I was very nervous about this - a referbed MacBook Pro was a risk. But it said "excellent," the specs were exactly what I was looking for, and the price was right. So I went for it. GREAT decision. This computer arrived in truly excellent shape. After a white glove inspection, I only found a tiny - and I mean tiny - imperfection on the case. That it. The display is mint. The battery rated itself at 86% health, which for a 3-yr old computer is pretty good. The machine functions perfectly and I feel like I got a great deal. Indeed, I'm thinking that for me anyway, buying barely used, like-new computers might be the best way forward. Thanks!

I’ve been a Windows power user for years, but after my last high-end laptop struggled with overheating, I finally made the jump to this Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch with the M1 Pro chip. After months of daily use for video editing and music production in Logic Pro, I can safely say this is the best laptop I have ever owned.

1. Device was supposed to be an “Excellent condition renewed” but the laptop was not fully functional and the listing is misleading. The first thing I noted was that automatic brightness and True Tone options were not working or even showing up on display settings; the display colors looked too cold and uncomfortable to look at. Ran Apple Diagnostics Tool and got Error ALS001 “There may be an issue with Ambient Light Sensor” and terminal reported “ALS not found”. Did a deep research and found out the display on this MacBook Pro was likely replaced with a cheap OEM display that might not even have the Ambient Light Sensor (OEM parts that includes the sensor are more expensive) and, on top of everything, it was probably replaced by a third party shop and not APPLE itself. 2. The battery had almost 230 cycles at 88% capacity. Considering other buyers got batteries at 99% - 100% this one was very worn out. This is something I was willing to accept, as for the renewed lottery some battery wear is expected, but this a completely different scenario to get a laptop with crippled cheap replaced OEM parts. 3. The charger is not Apple Mag Safe as stated in the listing , they sent a cheap USB-C generic 118 w charger that will risk damaging your device. 4. The MacBook Pro otherwise was in good condition, without major or severe scratches or dents. *Had to clean it, came very dirty. I decided to return the laptop because it’s unacceptable to spend +$1000 on a supposedly “excellent condition” renewed Apple device that must be fully functional and end up getting a device with a replaced OEM display, that lacks the most important sensor on which other functions like True Tone, automatic keyboard brightness and automatic display brightness rely on. This is cheating on the customer.

This is my third MacBook Pro since 2012. The only reason I upgraded was because I could not update that first one anymore. The second one had an accident that was not covered under a warranty. This one arrived in excellent condition. Immediately ran a report as soon as I opened it. 94% maximum capacity and 193 cycles. Very clean and feels brand new. No scratches. No signs of wear anywhere, including the keyboard. Functions like a brand new Macbook Pro. Very happy with this purchase and would buy used again.

I recently purchased this laptop to replace my previous 15-inch 2017 MBP. I didn't have the budget for a brand new MBP so I did my research and came across this computer which fulfills my current needs. Even though this laptop is only 4 years newer than my previous one it is far superior in many ways. First, I day trade stocks and every time I connected an external monitor to my previous laptop it constantly overheated and I'm happy to say I no longer have this problem. Also, my previous laptop had known issues with the keyboard keys getting stuck and duplicating typed letters. The keyboard on this laptop is worlds better!! Another reason I purchased this particular laptop is because the description mentioned that it was in excellent condition and it comes with an 11 month warranty. A new computer from Apple only comes with a 12 month warranty so I feel really good about any potential near term problems. I can say that the computer I received pretty much looks brand new and the battery life which was advertised as being guaranteed over 80% ended up coming in at 92% so that was a very welcome surprise. The only minor negative thing I can say is that the included power adapter is not the original mag-safe adapter that comes from Apple (it was not advertised as being included with this purchase) and the one that it comes with the computer works just fine under a heavy load with multiple stock charts being processed in real time. I'm very happy with this purchase and would buy it from this seller again.

I received the laptop in a box without any cushion inside. But the MacBook still arrived in 1 piece. I received 1 MacBook, 1 counterfeit china-made charger and 1 generic cable. Phycially, the laptop looks new, no dents nor scratches. The laptop works perfectly, I was able to log in with my apple ID and icloud. Checked the settings, and it was the correct RAM, processor and storage. Double checked the serial number with apple website to find out about warranties. The website couldn't find the serial number. I called the cuser support, they were able to put the laptop under my name. Then they told me it still has apple care + until 2025. It was a nice surprise! However what threw me off was the fake charger. When I try to charge the laptop, it gets hot. I could have just bought a legitimate apple charger for a 100$ but it made me concerned about the product. After a few days of using the laptop and more contemplation, I decided to return the product. I filed a return on June 19, citing defective products. I got the refund on my bank account on June 25. I gave this product a 4 star due to superb quality of a second hand product and the swift refund. Just note that you have 30 days to return it without questions. The third seller for me was Tech exchangee.

Almost new!!!, battery 95%, 48 Battery Cycles, not even an small scratch, wall charger is not the original, but who cares!!!
