I Bought A Refurbished MacBook Pro M1 in 2024

I bought a refurbished MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip from Amazon Renewed store and it’s been a great investment.
I received a virtually brand new computer!
Here’s the link to the exact seller I got it from: a.co/d/06e97VDf
I paid $1,425.00 US Dollars :)

I got M1 Pro 32 GB, 512 GB from Facebook Market Place today for 1000 dollars. It have 50 cycles of battery count with 100 percent health. I am very happy to get this deal.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

32gb is a lot of ram!! Congrats, it was a great deal :)

[@jackmoff90038]

I purchased a new MBA M2 with 8GB/512GB, and started noticing my memory pressure hitting yellow often when using my Adobe products. So I sold it, and picked up a refurbished MBP 14 M1 Pro 8c/14c with 16GB/512GB (base model). It blows away price in terms of any MBA upgrades, and will perform about on-par with a modern M3. These MBPs in the M1 Pro are such a killer value. Great video!

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

They really are! Also good choice :)

[@Mangold108]

from the title I thought you got the 13 inch M1, but you got the M1 pro.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

true!! I'll fix it later. thanks for pointing out :)

[@The-Tall-Photographer]

I bought an M1 16in MacBook Pro from Apple. As new. Congrats on your purchase.

[@beltrangarrote1982]

Watching this from my Refurbished MBA M3 which hit my countries Apple's Refurbished Store last week. I had been checking since its release in march basically. So stoked.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Nice!! Nothing wrong with my laptop but I’m seriously considering returning it and getting an M3, we’ll see 😃

[@beltrangarrote1982]

@@TheCreativeLeoo IMHO, the M1 chip is starting to get a bit old approaching four years since release even though still very capable. M4 chip is already here and will reach MBP soon enough. Cheers.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

@@beltrangarrote1982 Yep yep!!! You're absolutelly right. I think upgrading now will be like future proofing my setup for another 5 years or so :)

[@dishxpert]

Congrats on your M1 Pro. I bought the 14" renewed Macbook Pro M3 Pro

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Good choice!

[@omarmendoza7150]

I got the MacBook Air M1 and im going on 3 years with it, and it works great. I got mine refurbished as well.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Refurbished is the way to go 🥰

[@codecaine]

I have a m1 and m3. M1 is good enough really. These days it mainly about memory. Computers are super fast.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

That’s true!

[@user-ly2yh4ud3f]

Great review. Hope you will re-upload your previous videos. Best.

[@owayneallen]

Give us an update on your laptop!

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Good idea! I will in the next video :)

[@nintendork07]

it's a great machine. i'm using the m1 macbook air with 16gb RAM + 1TB SSD & i'm not looking to upgrade for at least another 2-3 years also i'd be careful putting anything too important on that sandisk SSD, they're known to have high failure rates

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Really?? I’ve been using them for the last 3 years. Nothing ever happened. But it’s always good to know I could :)

[@kulyashdahiya2529]

@@TheCreativeLeoo More the ssd is used, higher chances of failure.

[@napst3r1]

Please guys stay with Ventura for a better battery 🔋 Stay with Ventura its better than Sonoma for more reasons Ventura is made for M1 pro ❤

[@rsn1660]

Shalom dear. I just bought M1 16 from costco. All the best.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Good choice!!

[@owayneallen]

It looks amazing! I am thinking of buying the M3 MacBook Air new, but I’m also thinking if a renewed MacBook Pro would do the job!

Congrats! I recently bought an M3 MacBook Air 15" and I definitely agree about having more screen!

[@hackintoshslovakia368]

I've the same model, it's the best price/power option from all macbook's line in summer 2024 , and if you once try 16", you don't want the smaller screen anymore, the best choice for this summer !!!

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Yes!! I agree. The Apple chips are wonderful!!

[@PapayaLover-cm6ts]

Can you share the link you used to buy this? Also, what country are you in?

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Hi! I’m in the United States. The seller profile is called Amazon Renewed. Make sure you get a computer in Excellent condition :)

[@woodyoulove-reynaldguibone6890]

Wow. You're luck to get 4 cycle count only

[@Jewish5783]

I am watching because I am getting my anew MacBook Pro sooner 😊. Congratulations 🎉. I also requested for 16gb ram

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Good choice! I wouldn’t buy anything with less than 16GB ram either 👍🏽🥰

[@Binkyton]

The M1 Pro is a great laptop, amazing choice, good video too

[@jameslundin89]

Can I get a base model MBP 14 inches for USD 1k or less

[@mustafabahsheemy]

You said that you upgraded from Mac mini m1, right? Do you feel a huge difference? Because I already have the Mac mini m1 👀

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Hi!! To me the M1 Pro is the M1 chip are the same 😆but I like my new laptop 1000 times better because I can take it with me anywhere ❤️😍

[@artbrutnewyork]

I bought one new a few years ago. I will probably upgrade next year( 2025) because the M5 Macbook Pro updates are going to be redesigned and thinner.

It was $1,425.00 US Dollars :)

[@stevejohnson1321]

I run Debian and don't edit video, so my 2012 mini is fine.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

I’m glad! I honestly only got rid of my mini m1 because I really needed a laptop. Anything with the M1 chip is amazing 😍

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

wowza! You scored on that one. 4 on the cycle count. I wonder if it has a new battery or the original. Eiterh way you scored on that one.

How much?

fast SSD , great chip, and fan. touch bar is also handy somehow.

Around $1500

[@jubac93]

I ve got the same 16inch with 1to ssd buy on Amazon ❤❤❤

[@Angrygalaxy]

I got the same model as you renewed from Amazon. Mine has a strange issue though where it sometimes keeps giving the chime that it's connecting to magsafe multiple times, and charging. It's annoying and worried me a lot at first when I got. It still happens although not as much anymore. I was too stressed to reach out to Amazon about it. Might reach out to Apple about it. Hope you're not having similar issues.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

That’s doesn’t sound good at all 😳 If you bought a laptop from the Amazon Renewed store then you have a whole year of warranty. I would return it and ask for a replacement or my money back.

[@TheCreativeLeoo]

Nice!!

[@jubac93]
