It's a solid choice for both professional and personal use. However, if you plan to use it for demanding tasks, consider models with larger RAM configurations.


  • Physically the Best MacBook Pro I've Had
Style: Apple M1 Pro Chip Capacity: 1 TB Color: Space Gray
I tend to use my laptops a LOT, and I could probably be more gentle with them, so I tend to wear them out before they would otherwise need replacement... Leading to this being my 4th MacBook Pro. (It would be helpful if Apple could make better keyboards, but that's outside what I can control.) My last one, a mid-2019 model, had the Touch Bar (which I hated) but the "improved" keyboard which worked well until it began failing one key at a time. I was finally driven to replace it when other problems began to occur. This "new" MacBook Pro is, so far, a definite improvement on its last 2 predecessors. -- KEYBOARD: It took a day or two for me to get used to the feel of the keyboard, but now I'm actually able to touch-type more easily than in the past and it's quiet enough for me to not bother anyone sitting on either side while I work. (It's also very nice to have all the keys work!) The fact that the Touch Bar has been replaced with "old fashioned" function keys is, for me, a major plus because I tended to accidentally activate commands on the Touch Bar when my fingers got too close (maybe I carry too strong an electrical charge?) without my being aware I might be touching it, so having actual physical keys that only react when I actually press them is wonderful. I miss the ability to easily adjust keyboard brightness on the keyboard (it was actually through the Touch Bar), but that's easily taken care of via the Menu Bar. -- SCREEN: The black "notch" at the top of the screen still looks a little odd, but does not affect me or my work negatively in any way; the narrow black bezel around the screen is especially welcome when watching movies or scrolling through social media in bed. Image resolution is very good and brightness is easily adjustable. -- PORTS/CONNECTIVITY: I'm a little torn about the change (from the mid-2019 model) in ports; I frequently find myself wishing I still had 2 USB-C ports on *both* sides but absolutely love the return of the original MagSafe power port (the damage protection of which I've accidentally availed myself of a couple of times already). As far as WiFi is concerned, I've had zero problems to date while connecting to devices in multiple locations. -- FORM FACTOR: After all these years I don't know why I'm always surprised at how hefty this laptop is, but the balance is good enough that it's not noticeable when resting on my knees in a doctor's waiting room. Also, although the edge of the body still seem sharp, this one doesn't seem as prone to leaving painful creases in my wrists & hands as the previous one did. -- OVERALL: I've been living inside the Mac ecosystem a long time; my first desktop unit was an SE30 and my first laptop a 1998 PowerBook G3, so I have a *lot* of Macs to compare this one to... and so far it's sitting very close to the top of my list. My only real argument is with the current version of MacOS, but that's a totally different can of worms. I know there are newer models of the MacBook Pro on the market, but (especially when looking at price) this is one I hope to be using through (at least) the 2020s. ... show more

  • Absolutely worth it!
Style: Apple M1 Pro Chip Capacity: 1 TB Color: Silver
Edit 2025: I’ve had this Mac since 2021, and it still works the day I got it, it’s beautiful, it runs hard, and it still works the way I need it to, 4k videos, Adobe, everything. Edit: To add to this review. I've noticed some people are complaining about USB ports. Please PLEASE do your research before you buy! It's all USB C ports. HDMI is great to use a Monitor, free's up a USB C port for other devices! The SDHC ports are also available, and absolutely necessary for the everyday Photographer, videographers. That don't use a C Fast memory card (Which most computers you'll need an adapter anyways, but anyone that used normal SD chips for their camera's, it's a great to use! My last windows computer didn't have one, and I ABSOLUTELY needed it, (it's all I could get at that time and luckily I had a USB Adapter) and really no cons. I'm always on this computer, always needing to edit something, and it's been great to have! Otherwise refer to my original review below this edit. It's absolutely fast. Faster than I expected it to be honest. This is my second ever Mac, coming from a renewed mod '09 MBP i got in '17. This Mac blows everything that I own out of the water. Battery lasts me ALL day. Depending on what I'm doing. If I'm editing in premiere pro, or after effects all day. It'll drain a lot faster. If i have Netlfix, YouTube, or Twitch running most of the day. It lasts quite a long time. Browsing and talking with people lasts nearly 2 days. I've had this a week now, and there are no faults with this unit. It came in great condition. No issues with the computer, no scratches and its box was in good condition. It's nice and smooth. The only thing that I don't like, is I can't tether Android. But that's Apple's fault. I can tether on El Capitan, 10.1 MacOS. But not Monterey 12.2.1. I assume it has to deal with the M1 chip though. Some programs don't work with the new M1 chip. But otherwise. No qualms with the package, and shipping was fast. ... show more

  • Bought a “Brand New” 2021 MacBook in 2025 - Here’s How It Went
Style: Apple M1 Pro Chip Capacity: 1 TB Color: Silver
Yes, you read that right, I bought a brand new 2021 MacBook Pro in 2025. And before you scratch your head, let me explain. When Apple says “brand new,” they technically mean zero battery cycles. Mine came with 2 battery cycles, which means that somewhere between manufacturing and me opening it, someone powered it on and charged it. But here’s the twist; the laptop was completely factory sealed when I got it, and cosmetically it looked 110% new. Performance-wise, it’s everything you’d expect from an untouched MacBook Pro. No wear, no marks, no surprises — just that crisp new Mac smell (yes, it’s a thing). Here’s where it gets better: AppleCare+. Thanks to Apple’s newer Apple One program, I was able to get AppleCare+ on a MacBook that rolled off the line in 2021. The trick? You need to be on the latest macOS update, then run Apple’s built-in diagnostics. If it passes - boom - you can enroll in AppleCare just like a current-year model. ... show more

  • Top 5 MacBook Pro of All Time
Style: Apple M1 Pro Chip Capacity: 512 GB Color: Space Gray
Perfect. The M1 Pro MacBook Pro is a more than capable, extremely capable machine even in 2025 due to its 8 performance cores and 2 efficiency cores for a total of 10 cores. There is no need to upgrade to an M4 Pro if you can find one of these in excellent condition. Mine was described as being like new, and it did indeed arrive in like new mint condition. It appears that someone opened the box and left the computer alone as all the accessories were still wrapped as new and untouched. I checked the battery cycles, it was at 1. That’s a new machine and a steal at only $900 since I was able to get it tax free. I use mine for music production and video editing. Logic Pro works extremely well, I also use Ableton, Reason and Pro Tools with zero issues. Sessions run smoothly. Battery lasts all day too! Keys feel nice, not too heavy but it is a sturdy machine. Get one! ... show more
