Apple 2021 MacBook Pro (16-inch, M1 Max chip with 10‑core CPU and 32‑core GPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) - Space Gray

Yeah, this mustve been used before as I found some residue on the shell and a human hair inside of it.

It was just what I wanted and more. The battery life is exactly what was advertised. This is not my first one. It operates beyond what I thought. I had one before, but was ready for a new one. I love it’s speed and it did all the work getting it setup. I had everything on the cloud and it was ready to put everything into place. It works well with my external devices without any problems.

Really surprised and disappointed with how this machine interacts with and runs the current Adobe Suite. Even basic AfterEffects projects CHUG with nothing else running on the machine. Basic 15-30 second compositions with only a dozen or so key frames are sometimes taking 10+ hours to render. Totally unacceptable for a machine marked toward professionals. Save yourself some money and get a refurbished older model of the iMac Pro or Mac Pro. These things just dont cut it in a professional creative environment.

I was hoping to purchase Apple Care from the Apple website within the 60 days of buying (I just got my MacBook delivered today), but it turns out that when I tried purchasing Apple Care from the Apple website it just says that the device is ineligible. Really disappointed. Going to return it so I can purchase it from the Apple Website.

My last MacBook lasted over 7 years and really still works, just needed to upgrade. Got the new MacBook 16” 1tb. A few months in, it just randomly dies. Dead. Suuuuper dead. I walked away to the kitchen for a snack and when I came back it was off and wouldn’t turn back on. No storm or power surge, just random computer death. I several days worth of work, and Apple never could explain what happened, but replaced it for free. Now a year later the screen cracked and went black as I tilted it back with my fingers during a zoom meeting. I didn’t crank on it or anything weird, just a normal tilt. Back to Apple, but this time I’m outside their warranty. Their only explanation is that I applied too much pressure with my non dominant hand fingers during a work video conference. In 25 years I’ve never cracked a screen but somehow today I applied too much pressure. It’s going to cost almost $700 to repair. I thought this would be apples latest and greatest but is apparently a lemon. I used to be such an Apple advocate because their quality was so good but apparently those days are gone. I’m planning to move away from Apple products in the future, and I post this here as a caveat emptor for you shoppers out there.

M1 Pro performance is mind-blowing! The laptop boots up out of sleep in a second, just as fast as you unlock your iPhone but its a laptop. The display is absolutely gorgeous, the color is pretty accurate. The black is very deep and you cant discriminate a black produced by monitor and a natural black!!

Overall the machine is nice, even revolutionary. However, the notch is there, I still cannot believe its apples design. How can apple make that?

I ordered the M1 max from Amazon. I been a windows user my whole life and due to me needing xcode I decided to get a MacBook to replace my Alienware from 2014. Mac is a little difficult to get used to the shortcuts are different. This thing can ran game maxed out but there is no raytracing. There are a lack of natural MacOS also. The best thing about this MacBook pro is the screen 10/10, the battery 10/10, portable 10/10 and the Sound 10/10. Macsafe is a great feature it keeps you laptop from hitting the floor if you trip, also charges crazy fast.

I recently purchased the 16-Inch MacBook Pro and I am extremely impressed with its performance and design. The larger screen size is a game-changer for me, as it allows me to work more efficiently and comfortably. The display is bright, clear, and vibrant, making everything from photo editing to video streaming look amazing.

I have never had a issue with Apple products but this locked me out within a week of using it. No apple tech could help and my information was on it. The product was picked up July 11th, 2022, and I still have not been refunded and it says they havent received the product yet.
