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

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 a little hesitant when I ordered this M1 MacBook Pro 16inch, especially since the description mentioned “some cosmetic wear.” When it arrived, there were a few noticeable dents and scratches, but honestly, they don’t bother me at all, especially considering what I actually received.I originally ordered the 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD model, but to my surprise, it came with 32GB RAM and a 2TB SSD! That alone made this purchase beyond worth it. On top of that, the battery was still at 92% health, and to my amazement, it still had active AppleCare coverage.Performance-wise, this thing is an absolute beast. The M1 chip handles everything I throw at it effortlessly! Whether it’s video editing, music production, or heavy multitasking. Even with the cosmetic imperfections, this is easily the best deal I’ve ever gotten on a laptop. If you’re on the fence about buying a used one, don’t hesitate! This was hands down an amazing experience!

Super contento con la computadora. No tiene ningún detalle estético, funciona perfectamente.La caja es la trae unos detalles pero es lo de menos

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.

The first arrived with a Korean keyboard that was quite greasy, so I had to return. Return process was easy but it had to be returned through an at-home UPS pickup, and it can take 10 business days for the refund. The replacement is flawless.
