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.

This was by far the worst experience I have ever had, purchasing a computer. I trusted that Woot was selling a refurbished MacBook that was functional. As others here mentioned, it came in an “Apple Refurbished” box. The apple box was shrink wrapped, the accessories brand new, the MacBook itself was in pristine physical condition, and I even pulled the felt liner protecting the display. I saved up for this computer for a couple months. I was so happy! Then I turned it on. The battery had less than 10 cycles…great. Then the computer locked up and I was informed that this computer was the “property” of another company, and that I had to accept “remote management” to continue. Remote management is where an IT department can regulate and monitor everything on the laptop!! There are some hacks available to block the remote management IP address, but there is no guarantee that Apple won’t override this in a future O/S patch. So I basically had a bricked laptop. HERE’S THE KICKER: I reached out to Woot customer service almost a dozen times to try and get this resolved. On their website, they were SELLING an identical MacBook Pro, but they couldn’t do a swap because “that is a separate inventory.” They offered $300 refund to fix it but I already confirmed there is no permanent fix. Apple refused to touch it. And, in order to make original purchase, I obtained a $500 Amazon account credit plus Afterpay, and Woot doesn’t accept Amazon account credit. So when I returned the laptop, I was unable to make a purchase with Woot. End of story: no laptop. I’ve been a Woot customer since 2006.

My laptop is flawless, it looks brand spanking new. 100% Battery health and everything works well so far. I got my deliver 3-4 days earlier than expected. I’ve felt no overheating a far for this 16” MacBook. Connectivity is good for WiFi etc… My only draw back was that it didn’t come with a OEM cable or adapter. The mag safe section of the cable got super hot after being plugged in for a while and the brick was hot as well. I ended up ordering one from Apple. This isn’t a reason to give a low rating so I’m happy with what I got. I would buy from this seller again.

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.

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!!

Works fine right out of the box. It's replacing another MB pro, that the USBC port stopped working in, but I was able to migrate all of my files into this one, and go right back to work.

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.

Excellent appareil !

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.

a mi me salio muy buena llevo ya un par de meses usándola y corre muy bien sin detalles básicamente se ve como nueva

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!

Yo ya había comprado productos renewed y no había tenido ningún problema pero esta vez me llegó una MacBook con una abolladura muy grande en la parte de atrás de la pantalla, bastante golpeada y se supone que era en estado excelente, la devolví al día sig y estoy esperando mi reembolso, me llevo una muy mala experiencia
