Apple MacBook Pro Late 2021 with Apple M1 Pro chip (16-inch, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) Space Gray (Renewed)

I would recommend some general safety on your part before you decide on taking a gamble on buying a renewed item on Amazon. I've done it once before with an iPhone 12 mini a few years ago. Loved that phone. Actually got a pretty decent phone all things considered. My experience was that of impulse. I wanted a MacBook for awhile. Last year I bought a Mac mini, but I was really starting to feel the burn of not having a real beefier computer, so I ended up getting a desktop PC. I like my PC, but it has very specific use cases. I've ran into issues where I'd like to have a laptop, or rather the portable-ness that comes with having a laptop. I was going to go with a Mac Neo or Air. But as a photographer, I really wanted to have something with a bigger screen to really get the most out of my purchase. A new MacBook M5 pro 16 inch is somewhere close to 2500. Which is out of my budget. I stumbled onto this guy and thought it was too good to be true. An M1 Pro, with 16gb for 760. I figured since the iPhone I got was good. This would be good too. And it is. I got this because this specifically had the prime association, so I figured if it didn't work I'd be able to replace it fairly quickly. I ended up ordering this and got it a few hours later which was sweet. The box it came in... what a joke. It was this flimsy cardboard that was barely holding on. The paper was warped and old. The flap it came with was very loosely closed, just moving it slightly felt like the box was going to disintegrate. Thankfully the laptop was protected with a sturdy bubble pillow case. My MacBook is virtually fine. No problems with the keyboard or screen. The back was mostly scratch free outside of the sticker residue on the back corner. But it's small and can be cleaned. It came with what I think is a real MacBook charger, but it's just USB C, not MagSafe. It had no battery life when I got it. I was a little afraid it wouldn't charge. Sure enough it did and soon we were off and running. This is a solid laptop. I've been putting it through the paces and it's been working great. It's got a fantastic screen and has all the extra ports, like HDMI and SD slots. I've taken a look at the battery and it's been showing at around 90 percent. Not too shabby I say. The battery life is crazy. I have a windows 16 inch laptop for work and it's dead within like two or three hours. So far I've been unplugged for a hour on this guy and we're on 98%. I've watched a few videos and written this review in that time. The reality is this laptop is older and in terms of compatibility who knows how many updates it will continue to get. However, I'm not overall too worried as long as it lasts for two or three years just so I can get the most out of it. Once it's gone I'll see about turning this into a linux based laptop and live out life that way to eek as much as I can for this. The screen on the is really incredible and it for sure has some pop to it. The mini LED tech is really so cool to see in action on this. I watched the movie Casino on here and it was impressive seeing the black ratio be pretty good. Not quite OLED, but mark my words. The OLED MacBook Pro is going to be complete overkill. I will say, when this computer finally won't update anymore, I'll definitely end up getting a new one since I'll know for sure I'll my moneys worth out of it.

I'm not a fan of the price of Macbooks but if you can get past that, this truly is a great laptop. It's very fast and powerful. This is my main work computer, and I run lots of software throughout the day, such as Word and Excel, but also several browser windows with many tabs open, Slack, and Zoom with no problems at all. I also do video editing (Da Vinci Resolve) while everything else is running and still no loading issues. This is my first Mac with an M chip and I was worried I might run into software compatibility issues but I was able to transfer everything from my Intel-based Macbook to this one seamlessly. This has three USB-C ports and each one is capable of charging the computer or connecting to an external monitor, which is great. But this also has a proprietary charging port if you need an extra USB-C port and it has an HDMI port if you want to use that for a monitor. The charging cable also connects magnetically, which is nice because it'll pop right off if you accidentally trip over the wire. There's also an SD port, which is awesome for me since I do a lot of photo and video editing work. It's so much easier to pull the SD card out of my camera and download media to the computer or to another hard drive. I ordered the 16" model after using a 14" model for years and it took me a while to get used to it. This computer is much larger and felt way oversized for several weeks but I eventually got used to it. I still miss my old 14" laptop for portability though because it was smaller and much lighter. I still haven't taken this computer out with me because it's big and I'd rather just leave it at home. But the benefits of a larger screen is a huge plus. On the smaller Mac, I couldn't split screen and work out of two windows. The 16" model makes split screen possible, so I don't always need an external monitor. I'm far more productive with this screen. Another drawback of the size is the large hand rest area. I have to reach much further to reach the keys and my wrists rest on the edge of the laptop, which is a little uncomfortable. I wouldn't say one size is better than the other, just that each one has its benefits. The screen is huge. I have another 15.5" PC laptop and the screen on this Mac feels so much larger, because the bezel on the edges is very thin. Very little space is wasted here. The speakers are great and that's one thing I've always loved about Macbooks over PC laptops (or at least the ones I've owned). I have three other Windows machines and the speakers are terrible and sound tinny. But the audio on this Macbook feels like you're surrounded by the sound and everything sounds crisp and clear. You can hear the bass. The camera is pretty good, and much better than previous models (such as the 2019 model I previously used). It's not amazing and you'lll probably still want to use an external camera for higher quality video calls, but this camera is still surprisingly good. It does a great job of lightening up the scene in dark rooms.

I was hesistate to buy the renewed product at first but the price for a new one is just ridiculously high. After reading a few reviews, I decided to go with it. Just to clarify onething that it seems to be missing from other review, the one I bought was shipped and sold by amazon, and thus the experience may vary. The laptop arrived and I am very pleased with it; it's virtually brand new and no sight of abused. The laptop has 97% battery health. Keyboard has no sight of broken key. Screen, the most expensive part, has no scratch. Machine runs and the heat seems to be at a normal level. One thing to note, the product did not come with original packaging but it is not a big deal for me. On the other hand, the laptop did not come with mag-safe 3 cable and the power adapter is just a generic one. You may get the correct adapter but for me, they sent me a different charger. The listing said it comes with 140W charger but I only got the smaller one. I contacted support and they are very quickly to resolve the issue.

Bought this 2021 MacBook Pro M1 16 inch. it was sold as excellent condition and that was proven wrong from the moment it arrived. 1st it arrived in a Fedex express box with no other packaging besides a bubble wrap container that it slides into. Okay enough I do not expect to get a brand new computer in a brand new apple box. So I remove the laptop from the bubble wrap and the issues start right away. Remember this was sold as excellent condition computer there is a good size dent in the screen lid. right in the Botton near the hinge which would be the worst place to have one. The screen works but I would imagine this puts added stress to the screen which any other small impact could possibly make a pressure crack. The lid of the computer also has a decent scratch. This is why the previous owner must have put a skin on the top. Oh yeah I know they had a skin because the top of the computer is still full of adhesive from them removing it.The bottom of the computer is covered in small scratches. This does not bother me as it's possible this is from the last person not having a skin on the bottom. But there is a deep large scratch on the bottom of the computer as well. Then the screen. Although it is not broken it does have this weird dotting appearance like someone used something they shouldn't have to clean it at one point and it also has this weird thing happening around the outside edges of the screen. Kind of looks like it's separating or someone maybe had a screen protector on it at one point. Maybe that could have caused the weird issues with the screen as well. I have messaged the company to see what they can do about this since it's far from the Excellent grade they said it was. Not just by my opinion but by what amazon has listed as "excellent condition". I have started using the computer in the mean time to see if it has any other issues because reaching a conclusion with the company. As the how the computer works I've only have it in my hands for about an hour but so far amazing. super fast looks amazing despite the constantly dirty looking display and very smooth. Love the computer as a whole. I will try to update with how the conversation with the seller and the battery and long term use of the computer go.

First time doing any Amazon review, I really don’t care about these sorts of things, BUT, this product has been amazing so far! : —>I’ve purchased the 512gb 16gb ram model, with the space gray coloring of course. Now, according to Amazon’s Refurbished Service, my MacBook did have the cosmetic marks like as listed (purchased the excellent refurbishment). Yet, the MacBook Pro has been flawless in its computing. Since the day I opened it, up until nearly a month, no issues at all. The performance was amazing, and was able to run heavy apps simultaneously (5 heavy apps and not any throttling yet). There were more ports on the MacBook, such as 2 usb-c ports (lighting fast btw), HDMI and Ethernet, and lastly a sd port. The airflow system the MacBook carried made it never heat up a lot. Their speakers were amazing, reaching great bass and clear vocals easily. Now, only flaws I’ve had yet were two things. Battery and cosmetic flaw: —>If you’re super into battery life, this product typically reaches 80-90% battery health on average. Luckily, I was able to have a decent 88% max battery, but definitely worth it. Even with my battery, I’ve had at least 14 hrs open without reaching 20% yet. Now the cosmetics. The keyboard already came with a bit of “shine” (assuming that it’s pre owned) and the pre-owned scratch marks left a permanent mark on the hard shell of my MacBook. Just small scratch marks though, not like a hammer hit it or anything. It won’t matter if you get a case for it lwk 🤷🏽. —>Regardless, a very useful and effective MacBook that always packed a huge punch! Worth it if you want a laptop that’s definitely fast, can outperform any app, and worthwhile for years.

My macbook arrived in excellent condition in fact it looks new and works perfectly as described in the specifications. It also arrived quickly and well protected. I absolutely recommend this seller.

Ordered an Amazon refurbished Apple MacBook Pro Late 2021. The computer arrived on the promised date. It was extremely clean without any noticeable dings or scratches on the case. There was only slight wear on some of the keys. The unit was easy to set up. The battery shows to be 90% +. It has performed very well. Great buy!!

I recently acquired a MacBook Pro M1 Pro, and while the device itself is in excellent condition and appears to be a worthwhile investment, I wanted to share my mixed experience due to a discrepancy with the listed accessories. Pros: The MacBook Pro M1 Pro is in impeccable condition, and its performance has proven to be well worth the money. The battery, in particular, is commendable, having only undergone four cycles. Cons: Regrettably, my satisfaction is tempered by false advertising from the seller. The product listing clearly stated that the MacBook Pro would be accompanied by a USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (2 m) and a 140W USB-C Power Adapter. However, upon receiving the item, it became evident that these accessories were not included. Instead, I received a third-party power charger with a maximum output of 68W and a USB-C to USB-C cable. Efforts to resolve this discrepancy with the seller were made, but the best resolution offered was a mere $30. This falls significantly short of the actual market value for a used OEM 140W power adapter and USB-C to MagSafe cable. As a result, I find myself currently navigating the inconvenience of slow charging or, at times, the potential inability to charge adequately. While the MacBook Pro itself meets expectations, the disparity between the advertised and received accessories has led to some disappointment. I hope to find a more satisfactory resolution in the future.

Hoy me llegó mi equipo, está practicando impecable. Solo que llegó con el 81% de batería, de ahí en fuera todo está perfecto. La recomiendo mucho, trabajo súper bien con este equipo ❤️ La compré en poco más de 13k así que fue una ganga para mi punto de vista

Je suis agréablement surpris! J'aurais aimé recevoir un chargeur original Apple Magsafe 3, mais tout le reste est parfait! L'esthétique du MacBook Pro est parfaite, aucuns bris, l'écran est parfaite! La batterie est à 82% ce qui est très bien pour un MacBook Pro reconditionné. Merci!

Tenía muchas dudas sobre cómprala o no, sobretodo por las reseñas bajas/negativas que hay. En mi caso, obtuve una Mac básicamente nueva, estética de 10, sin detalles físicos ni funcionales, batería al 100%. La probé y todo el equipo funciona perfecto. Además, hice una comparativa con los productos de segunda mano de marketplace y el precio era el mismo, pero la calidad definitivamente no sería la misma, y pude financiarla con 12 meses sin intereses, mejor aún! Me llegó bien empaquetado y con un cargador genérico nuevo (yo preferiría comprar el cargador nuevo en Apple Store). Recomiendo ampliamente el equipo y al vendedor, gracias!!!

Very impressed with this new to me M1 MacBook pro the battery had 281 cycles on the outer case was in good condition with one very small indent on one of the corners screen back and top lid where all scratch free unit cam with apple 140w charger and new 2 meter usbc to MagSafe charge cable I am hoping to get a few years of use out of it

I received it without a box. Other than that it’s good so far.
