Apple MacBook Pro 2021 with Apple M1 Pro chip (14-inch, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Space Gray (Renewed)

Great laptop. battery cycle was at 131, and battery health at 93%. runs like a dream and the mini led display is fantastic. my only complaint is that it doesnt come with a magsafe charger. just a plain type c cable and a brick that i dont even know the wattage on. Great value for what i paid, considering this was $2,500, 4 years ago, and still runs better than most macbook airs.

I wanted to replace my 2020 Macbook M1 that I spilled some wine on and Apple wanted $1100+tax(!) to fix it. I said no thank you I will just get another used Macbook instead.. I am not paying for new macbook, I have had good luck with used macbooks and imacs (and ipads) so I researched used ones on ebay and amazon. I wanted something newer and did some research on power of macbooks between M1 and M5. My primary use is Lightroom for photos so I need a lot of storage and power to edit and render photographs. The hardest part was deciding between 14 inches and 16 inches. I was coming from 14 inch M1 but had 16 inch Macbook Pro at one point so I am aware of the size differences. I knew that if I got a 16 inch, it is too large to travel with so I would need to stay home. I3-14 inch can go on trips. Ultimately I went with a 16 inch because this particular model had all I needed: 4TB SSD (2TB was an absolute minimum for me) and M1 max which appears to be powerful even for 2025 standards. It also came with 64GB which is nice but 16GB or above would be fine for photo editing. All this for $1499 I think is a good deal. The macbook came flawless it looked brand new - not a single scratch or dent, literally as new. The only thing it did not come with OEM Apple power charger, and the one it came with, was USBC one, not the Macsafe one. I have a bunch of USBC Apple chargers at home and all of them seem to be charging this macbook rather fast, so no real issues there. Overall so far I have been happy with the purchase. This macbook is silent and does not get warm (i had it on lightroom with syncing to adoble cloud for 48 hours straight.

Premium refurbish is listed as not having scratches visible from over 12” away, battery over 90% and fully working. Received the MacBook and it had several scratches or gauges that were easily visible including the corner of the metal near the touchpad being worn or flattened at an angle. The battery was at 85% capacity and the finger Touch ID was broken. Apparently when a third party replaces the touchID it’s common to not work, and in this case it definitely didn’t. I tried updating to the latest software, cleaning with a dry computer cloth, and ultimately the finger print ID was useless. Failed immediately when tried to add a fingerprint and the new OS reported it as a problem. I guess I won’t buy a refurb from anyone but Apple in the future if at all. This was from Prime Mobility. Would have been a great deal if it worked and was in premium condition as advertised. The return options are bad too, I have to drive 26 miles now to return this computer because there is no UPS nearby and no other options. Horrible experience and I paid expedited shipping because I lost my job and then my computer broke at the worst time, so I was in need of a computer asap and wasted two days waiting for delivery and now wait more for when I am about to buy a new one and won’t even get the money back for this until a few days after it arrives back in New Jersey where it was shipped from.

The only issue I had with my order was that i ordered a 14Inch M1 Max, 64GB, 2TB and i got a 16 inch instead (Which is a win for me) The laptop came with a protective skin on the body and the display and body were in perfect condition. It fired right up and the battery only had 7 cycles with 100% battery life. Thoroughly impressed. The bad reviews made me nervous but this was an awesome experience.

This is my first time buying a refurbished Apple product and I can say I’m happy with the decision overall. At first glance, the MacBook looks to be in excellent condition. If you look very closely, you can see some light scratches and minor wear on the body, especially on the right side below the ports, as well as a few tiny marks that show normal use. What concerned me a bit more was the screen: it’s not damaged or worn out, but under certain lighting I can notice a couple of small hairline scratches. That said, this is exactly what you should expect from a refurbished product — it’s not 100% perfect cosmetically, but it’s fully functional and works great. I received the model I ordered: a 14" MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. It arrived completely drained of battery and came with a non-original charger and cable, which is something to keep in mind if that detail is important to you. One personal tip: take the time to read the seller reviews carefully — that’s something I skipped and I realized it can really influence your overall experience. Despite the small cosmetic details, I totally recommend buying refurbished products, especially from Apple. It’s a great way to get a powerful device when you don’t have the budget for a brand-new one.

I was a little nervous about buying a MacBook on Amazon but I couldn't be happier. It came in PERFECT condition and was ready for me to set it up and I had no issues. You couldve told me it was brand new out of the box and Id believe you lol It's very fast and lightweight. I put a case on it so that made it a lil heavier but still definitely very easy to carry around. The 14" was a better size than I thought it would be!! Less bulky than a 15" but still very usable/not so small that I can barely type. I plan to use this for music production purposes (and an upgrade from my old laptop) and with the speed I've seen so far, I'll do just fine :) **IMPORTANT NOTE: CHECK REVIEWS ON SELLERS WHEN YOU DECIDE WHERE YOURE ORDERING FROM!!!** Some had REALLY bad reviews so I steered clear. I ordered my laptop from Dynamic IT Hardware so I recommend them.

I was a bit disappointed when I first opened the package. It was not shipped in a box, but was in a fairly protected insert inside the box. I could see that on the right front edge there appeared to be some discoloration and what appeared to be a scratch along the top part of the lid. I was thinking Refurb Excellent meant no scratches. However, upon further inspection I took a cloth with some alcohol on it and just gave the case a good wipe down. That corner looked as though there may have been a sticker on it. So I cleaned it very well and lo and behold you can see from the picture there actually are no scratches and discoloration is gone. So now I open it and it immediately came to life. I did notice there was not little tissues between the glass and the keyboard, but the display seems perfect with no scratches and the keyboard doesn't have any finger oils or wear on it. So I am happy about both. There was a couple of spots on the inside, but again the magic of an alcohol wipe and it cleaned up good. This MacBook Pro M1-14 was apparently initially purchased on Jan 24, 2023 as that is when the limited warranty runs out in 2024. No way to get Apple Care as the 90 days are well past. The battery indicator shows it to be normal with 99% battery life. It had 55 total charge cycles. Needless to say for the $1249.00 I paid for this thing I think I did great. It's a refurb it isn't going to be perfect. One thing I will say is they gave me a knock off power adapter and USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable. The cable looks great. But that power adapter got so hot that I don't trust it and it's going in the trash can. I'll buy a replacement Apple OEM charging brick. The seller on this was Loop Mobile. I see many people say they have had a bad experience with them, but this is mine so far. If anything changes I will update this review. I am only giving 4 stars because if they had taken the time to clean up the case to remove the apparently stains and provided a OEM brick. These 3rd party bricks have been known to cause fires. So my rating of 4 stars is still good. Update: 12/20/23 After about a week or two the battery started draining much quicker than expected. I actually contacted Apple they had me install a diagnostic and the battery level was much lower than when I initially got it. However, they recommended for me to wipe it and reinstall MacOS. So I did this as we thought maybe something was running in the background that a reboot was not clearing. However, that made no different. I could literally charge it to 100% and not have anything running from the taskbar. When I would get up in the AM about 7 or 8 hours later it was be at 75%. When I get home from work it's would be at 50%. I couldn't figure that out. I requested a return and I was sad to do so because other than the battery it was mint. The seller fully refunding me when the received the laptop back. I shipped it back in the same box that they shipped it to me in. I did end up purchasing another one that was an Apple Refurb, but that is another review.

Almost perfect condition, just a few not important scratches. The machine is working perfectly fast. I would recommend getting this product.
