Apple 2021 MacBook Pro with M1 Max Chip, 16-inch, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Space Gray (Renewed)

I ordered the computer in "Excellent Condition," and there were no major dents or anything. However, the keyboard was definitely used and not cleaned effectively, as it only took some wet wipes to remove the previous owner's oils.I ordered the computer thinking I was going to get a 512GB model because that's what the listing said I would receive. However, I got a 1-terabyte model instead!!! So I am thrilled.The computer itself works great and is super fast much better than the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go that I was using I chose the pro over the newer air model because I felt that the air would melt with the amount of work that I do (Adobe). I haven’t had much time with it to see if the battery lasts long enough, because the battery has degraded to only 86% health, which isn’t the best for a computer in "Excellent Condition." Otherwise, I am happy with it and I hope that happiness continues...

I was a little hesitant about buying a renewed MacBook Pro, but I’m so glad I went for it! This 2021 14-inch model with the M1 Pro chip has blown me away. Right out of the box, it looked and felt brand new—no scratches, dents, or any sign that it was ever used.The performance is exactly what I hoped for: lightning-fast, handling my work tasks and creative projects (even heavy video editing!) without a hitch. The 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD provide plenty of speed and storage for my needs, and the battery life has been outstanding, lasting me through an entire day without needing a charge.Space Gray looks sleek as ever, and I appreciate that I got all this power at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new one. If you’re on the fence about going renewed, take the leap. It’s a great way to get premium Apple performance without breaking the bank!

Honestly, after reading so many mixed reviews I was worried—very worried—especially since I also had to pay import taxes when the computer arrived in my country. But it turned out the laptop really was like new. The battery had only three charge cycles, which clearly shows they took the time to refurbish it properly, considering it’s a 2021 model. My experience was very good—very good.

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.

I was rather surprised at the quality, it was basically brand new! Would purchase again in a heartbeat!

I got the base model MacBook Pro 14 in “Excellent” condition for around 750 USD from Gadget Replay. I picked this seller specifically because of their high rating. I hear Woot is very good as well.Packaging was sufficient, came with a 3rd party 65W USB-C charger that appears alright. No MagSafe! Bummer.The laptop itself is almost spotless, with only one visible scratch on the body near the ports and one light scratch (more of a short slash) mark on the display near the top, which is only visible in specific lighting conditions. As far as I can tell, no unoriginal replacement parts have been used. The specs are as advertised (I guess they couldn’t be any worse as this is the base model).Battery health was at 86%, came with MacOS Ventura and a random extra partition so I took the time to just erase all of the APFS partitions and reinstall Sequoia from Recovery. It got a little warm during installation but nothing egregious (and nothing like my Windows laptop).After a few days of use I noticed the "h" key on the Mac seems hyper-sensitive to any pressure and will type under extremely light force, even without being pressed. This has annoyed me enough to warrant a return. I suppose I have gotten unlucky.

I bought this 14” MacBook Pro M1 Pro as a Renewed product listed in “Excellent” condition, and in terms of performance, it’s flawless! The device runs perfectly, the battery came with only 48 cycles, and overall, it feels almost brand new.The reason I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because the laptop arrived with some visible scratches on the top cover. Also, the store labeled it as “Grade B,” which doesn’t match the “Excellent” condition that should correspond to Grade A or higher. I’m not sure if it was a mistake in the listing or in what was shipped, but it affected my experience a bit.Other than that, it’s an amazing machine and does everything I needed.
