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

This is the best computer on the market!

My older Mac had served me well but needed a battery replacement and had other issues. The new Mac is much improved. The finger print reader is a very nice addition. The feel of the keyboard is better. I load and export many photos and the speed of the computer is impressive.

This machine chunky and a bit heavy but it is also just wonderful. There is not a problem that I can think of in months of use. The battery life is twice as good as the older MacBooks but more importantly this machine has a very power efficient processor so it seems as if the battery drains at a similar rate no matter what you do. I find myself only going back to the older MacBook if software just wont run on the newer machine. Unless you have very specific needs like 3D graphics, there should be no question about whether to buy it. This machine will make you happier and more productive.

I got this to replace an ancient iMac running ancient DAW software (MOTU DP7) in my home studio. I had an eye towards being able to take it on the road with a small audio interface, while most of the time it would be the heart of my studio with a large external monitor (or two) and a small footprint on my desk. And while I was at it, have it run Ableton Live Suite 11.

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!!

The macbook is really a fantastic machine. The only thing really holding the mac back, is the price. Its just way too expensive for a lot of people, not even a good gift consideration because of that. You could make one of the most powerful PCs with the money it cost to buy one of these. That being said, why bother buying it? Well if you really enjoy mac os, there is one reason. I can’t think of too many though. Its a good machine, just not worth the money it costs.

The MacBook was defective and so I returned it. Normally Amazon returns are easy. Not for this. After hours on the phone and more than a month I still have not received a refund. I dont recommend buying an Amazon refurbished laptop. Spend a little more and save yourself a major headache.

Amazing laptop, really fast! would highly recommend.

Just got my device today, Doesnt boot up, reason unknown, asked amazon for assistance. They told me they could only give me a refund. Waste of time and money. Going to Apple now.

This machine is great!
