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 ordered this 16 inch MacBook Pro and received it today. However the keyboard has a ton of debris and crumbs under it to the point where typing actually feels crunchy. I normally don’t leave reviews but It should have been cleaned this is unacceptable. Everything else seems to be working but a refurbished premium product should not have this issue. I attached a photo where you can see the issue somewhat. The battery health is at 84% which is fine. However i am extremely unhappy with the state of the keyboard. There is some slight wear and tear otherwise which is normal for a refurbished product. Screen seems to be in perfect condition. But overall the state of the keyboard has left me unhappy I have no idea how long this keyboard will last I may ask for an exchange

I purchased the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro from the Chrome Store on Amazon, and the experience has been excellent so far. The performance is extremely fast, with smooth multitasking and no lag even during heavy workloads. The battery life is impressive and easily lasts a full workday. The display is sharp and vibrant, the build quality feels premium, and macOS runs very smoothly on Apple silicon. It’s also surprisingly quiet and stays cool during use. Overall, this is a powerful and reliable laptop, well worth the investment for professionals and everyday users alike. Highly recommended.

I bought a 16” MacBook Pro M1 Pro through Amazon’s Renewed program, and overall, the experience was positive. The laptop arrived well-packaged and in great physical condition — no deep scratches or major marks, just some very minor signs of natural use, like slight wear on the keys, which is expected from a refurbished product. A big plus: the battery had very few cycles, indicating that the device was lightly used. Performance-wise, everything is working perfectly so far. The main downside is the charger. Unfortunately, it’s not an original Apple adapter, and it’s also not from a reputable brand. It’s clearly a generic accessory, and it shows signs of poor quality — it causes the MacBook to repeatedly play the charging sound (“chime”), as if it’s constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. This issue doesn’t happen when using a genuine or certified charger, which clearly points to a problem with the one provided. Suggestion: Amazon or the seller should be more transparent about the charger not being original and/or include a higher-quality replacement. For a product at this price point, cutting corners on such a critical accessory really affects the overall experience. Other than that, I’m satisfied with the machine itself — just leaving a heads-up for anyone considering this purchase: you might want to invest in a proper charger if you run into the same issue.

Came in perfect condition, the keyboard did kind of come with grease stains but that’s manageable! I’ve had mine for about a month now and it’s truly been the best for me so far! It’s not slow at all.. it is pretty big (16inch) but I love bigger screens so it’s perfect for me. If you want something that you can have in your purse definitely go for something smaller (14inch) but yeah this works amazingly and it also shipped very fast!

Apple builds great laptops, and buying a reconditioned MacBook Pro is a cost-effective way to have one. The seller, Chrome Source, sent me a great looking 2021 MacBook that probably hadn't seen much action. It's in top condition. I upgraded from a 2013 MacBook Pro that was no longer supported. As for compatibility, all of my peripherals have outdated USB connections, but are working fine with Apple USB/USB-C adapters. The sound from this model is wonderful. The power converter that came with the laptop was third-party and didn't last but a few hours. I bought a new Apple converter and an Apple Mag-3 power cable, and all is well. The business with the failed power converter didn't impact my satisfaction with the product or the seller. Someone else had commented on the power converter earlier so I was expecting it to fail.

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.

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!

Al leer los comentario encuentras variaciones sobre el equipo; si viene sin caja, con detalles, cargador no original y sin cable de carga que corresponde. Pero la experiencia con el vendedor DLX Deals Certified resultó gratificante, de manera que me quito toda preocupación al momento de abrir la caja, pues recibí un equipo "nuevo" por así decirlo en su caja de Apple sellada, sus protectores en lap, pantalla, cargador y cable, instructivo, calcas e incluso el olor característico de equipos Apple. La Macbook realmente no tiene ningún detalle, la ventaja de tener un equipo renovado certificado por Apple garantiza que el gasto valga la pena la verdad. El sistema operativo viene con Monterey, pero como cualquier equipo nuevo al encender se configura, todos los puertos funcionan, las conexiones inalámbricas, la pantalla de lujo con la tasa de 120Hz y con mucho brillo, el sonido realmente el mejor que he escuchado en un equipo de esta marca. La velocidad sorprende, no he pedido mucho aún en tareas pero hasta ahora supera a un M2 de 13 pulgadas por mucho. La batería al 100% con solo 4 ciclos Reitero, la experiencia con este vendedor fue buena, por comentarios veo que hay unas ventas que no lo fueron, recomiendo antes de realizar la compra investigar un poco más del vendedor, por lo pronto recomiendo el que yo utilicé.

Viene muy bien protegido no se le ven rayones pareciera nueva está en perfecto estado único problema el cargador el cable que traen para cargar no es el adecuado es decir tiene un usb c para cargar en lugar el magic safe 3 que debería usar pero el precio que pague se me hace bueno por lo que recibi

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

Excellent appareil !
