YOU Should Buy the M1 MacBook Pro 14 in 2024, And Here's Why!

I bought a certified refurbished M1 Pro 14" (10c CPU, 16c GPU, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD) in November for about $1300 at Microcenter and was able to add AppleCare. It felt like a steal then and I've been very happy with it.

[@velanche]

Two years on, my 14” MBP is still the best computer I ever owned. The Apple silicon chip was, is, still he game-changer that Apple made it to be. Issues that I had with my Intel-based MBP, which I used for nine years, are non-existent. Computer throttling is pretty much a thing of the past, system overload in Logic….nada. Absolutely, the versatility on both desktop (where I have a load of hardware connected via USB hub and Thunderbolt dock) and mobile (sleek; slips in my backpack as well as my messenger bags) with desktop-class power still feels unreal to me. I have a 4TB SSD, a bump up from 1TB, and, as a DJ and music maker, it just feels right. It’s just an incredible piece of tech. Glad you agree; good video overview!

[@soooooTASTY]

You had me at “system overload in Logic….nada”. What are your computer specs and how many tracks/plugins/vsts are you able to run in a project before you start noticing stress on the laptop?

[@Neoduo18]

Thanks to you I bought a 2021 refurbished MacBook pro from Apple after you recommended it a year ago and I’m very happy that I watched your video. One of the very few I can trust. Thanks a lot ! ❤

I got the M1 Pro but in the 16 inch for more real estate 2 years ago. I still don’t see myself needing to upgrade in the near-mid future, it’s just that good!

My M1 Pro 8-core, 14" arrived yesterday, I got it "used" for 1480€ (1588$) and to my surprise, it had been only opened once for an update. 2 cycles on the battery and the charger hadn't even left the box. I am very happy with the deal I got!

[@vampireofthedawn]

Purchased M1 Pro 2 years ago. I have a high-end gaming PC for gaming and productivity plus a ps5 at home. Since I purchased this laptop (and it is my first MacOS device in my life) I don't touch my PC, set aside the optimized performance for daily used applications, insanely low power usage (17-40w on media consumption or blender while not rendering) compared to my gaming PC which begins to pull 120 to 300w idle and under load and most importantly this display, my god, this display is magical, so clean and crisp, I can't look at my monitor after working with this laptop and I do have a 700€ HDR 600 monitor but quality can not come even close to this laptop's display. I still love my laptop after 2 years.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

Zero regrets getting it & now that I have got it, when the time for upgrading comes, I won’t hesitate to get another MBP M Pro chip.

[@jackmoff90038]

Just got an excellent refurbished MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro 8c/14c GPU with 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM for less than $1100 on eBay. I sold my M2 MacBook Air and M1 Mac mini to buy this, and it's been amazing. I do a lot of data merges in InDesign, and my old 27" iMac (2015, i7) couldn't keep up, and would constantly use the fans during complex merges. This is so much faster, quieter, and even easier to use a daily driver both at home and my office. The weight between the 15" Air and the 14" Pro is almost identical, and I don't feel like the screen size is much of a compromise. I was going to get the 16", but feel like the form factor of a 14" laptop is perfect. The 15" Air is a great option, but I needed more memory from the base model, and the price for a refurbished 14" Pro M1 was too good to pass on.

[@patrickrodriguez8797]

Just got a MacBook Pro 14" with M1 Pro 16GB 512GB in pristine condition for $1100 and I'm loving it! Upgraded from a 2015 MacBook Pro 13" Retina and the difference is immense! The display is sharp and smooth and it barely runs hot.

Love my M1 MBP 14. I do a lot of photo editing, occasional video, full time podcasting and it is always up to the task. Battery life and fan noise was the biggest thing I appreciated. Switched from 2018 ThinkPad a few years ago and being able to crunch video silently while sitting on my couch is awesome. I think I still prefer the old Thinkpad keyboard, but only barely. Plus the Mac trackpad is leagues better.

I literally just got one. I love it. It's replacing my 16" 2019 MacBook Pro. I loved that one too but this M1 14" is great.

[@Semi-Detached]

I did have an 14" M1 Pro that I bought the day they launched. I ended up replacing it with an 16" M3 Max late last year and I actually miss it quite a bit. I think moving to the 16" was a mistake for me. The increased GPU power of the Max chip is nice in a couple places, especially with "AI" based tasks, but I think I should have stayed with the 14" form factor. Also, I don't know how true this is, but I feel like the M1 Pro series of MacBooks, the speakers were tuned to emphasize base more then these M3 series are and I liked the sound profile of the M1 better.

[@isaacsc243]

I’ve had my MacBook M1 Pro 14” for almost 3 years, and it is AMAZING. I have the base model specs, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, and it works like a charm. I do everything on it and use it pretty much every day. I am an art student, so I do a lot of heavier graphics work with Adobe and Affinity apps, on top of photo processing and editing for my photography, and it works brilliantly. After all this time, I still have yet to hear the fan turn on! I HIGHLY recommend this laptop. Truth be told, when this one eventually dies, all I’ll probably do is get the same laptop but with a larger SSD. Otherwise, it does everything I need, plus more. P.S. I’ve gotten it to run Minecraft (with Optifine) at almost 400fps consistently while it was raining in-game, with all fancy graphics on. This laptop is no joke.

[@tk4c4]

Why are you interested in 16? I'm struggling between 14 and 16 inches. It's so hard to choose. Reason being, 14inches is just the best option for the laptop, but I guess I wouldn't get a monitor for a long time. Maybe, your answer will help me.

[@shirokuro73]

I do a lot of things such as photo editing, video editing, and I even make and produce music on 3 different DAWs and I still haven’t caused a hiccup in performance. It’s a beast and I don’t see myself NEEDING to upgrade for a while.

This is a great semi-budget offering if you need a laptop that's pretty powerful and has a good battery life, and also you need to run desktop applications on it. One option I don't see talked about often, though, and one I'm happy with, is using a tablet as a laptop. Personally I have an iPad Air 5 255gb, Logitech's combo touch case for it (keyboard, trackpad, and stand), and an Apple Pencil. Came out to $900 new, which was about what the M1 Macbook Air was when I bought it, and its keyboard comes off plus it has a touchscreen and a stylus, making it a perfect hybrid device. Smaller and lighter too, which is a plus in my eyes. My one regret with that purchase is that, for the things I personally do on it, I really don't need that much power, and I could have gone with a $400 Samsung tablet and a $100 keyboard case and I wouldn't have noticed the difference. Or if I decided Apple was a must for the OS (personally I think Samsung does a tablet OS better, but I only found that out 6 months ago, well after I bought the iPad), the iPad 10 with a Logitech keyboard comes out to about $500 as well, albeit without the included stylus or 128gb base storage the Samsung equivalent comes with. Basically I overspent on specs I didn't need, but the concept of a tablet/laptop hybrid is really nice for the sorts of everyday tasks most people will use - most desktop programs are available on tablets too.

I'm (slowly) saving up to buy a computer like this, so I'm glad to hear it still holds up! The importance of battery life cannot be overstated. My work-provided laptop is a gaming laptop (I'm a motion graphic designer), so battery life was not a consideration for the company that built it. Even doing very light tasks like working through a script in a word document my battery life is ~45 minutes to 1.5 hours (and the charger is a BEAST). It's basically an all-in-one computer with an attached keyboard and trackpad.

I bought the 14 inch M1 Pro a few days ago on Jan 07.2025. After gobbling up a lot of videos, specs and stuff, I found an 8 core 16 MB with 512 SSD would be way good enough. Price difference to the 1 TB 10 Core M1 Pro was like 50 or 100 bucks, which I found a lot more fair for added value than Apples usual approach. Display is amazing, it is crazy fast and cold. The sound kept me awestruck. Even when it does things, like aligning RNA on a genome on 10 Cores, it does not get very loud. >5 GB/s read and write from the SSD... So, yes, i notice quite a difference to my trusty and proven 15" MacBook Pro from 2015. Which sadly lost the function in two keys, necessitating a little change. I bet like 99% of people would not notice the difference to a M4 for 900+ € more than I paid for it. One amazing machine, which came with 93% battery health in otherwise pristine condition.

I got a 16 inch macbook pro m1 MAX ram 64 gpu core for 1600 dollars at black friday last year, upgraded over my existing 14 inch m1 pro macbook. My little brother just bought a pre owned 16 inch m1 pro 16gpu core for 900 dollars last week, practically brand new, battery still at 95% only a year old. you're sometimes able to get these beasts for a steal.

My MacBook is a 2019 MacBook Pro, with an intel. Still looks brand new, I honestly don’t see why anyone would buy a brand new machine when they hold up SO well

Recently traded my M1 MBA for a base M1 Pro 14 and the screen alone is reason enough to do so. The 14” higher resolution let me see more stuff in Numbers and the mail app does not feel cramped Sure it is a bit heavier compared to the MBA but still more “backpack friendly” than its 16” brother

Got the M1 MacBook Pro 14 when it came out in November 2021 and it still is by far the best computer I’ve ever had. Still incredibly powerful, fast, and reliable. One of the all-time greatest laptops Apple has ever made, in my opinion, and I’ve been a Mac user since 2009.

Finally a video that makes sense, had this laptop for a while M1 Max 14” 1TB bought new and to this day can’t justify getting anything else. Sure the weight of an air would be great but not for the redux in screen, sound, and performance.

2020 M1 Pro with 16GB Ram, 250GB SSD running Big Sur (lol) still working like a champ after heavy Lightroom and photoshop use since 2021. Battery count: 569 , 92% capacity.

I bought few days ago an M1 Pro 16 with 32 ram 1TB SSD for a good price to replace my wive’s same laptop, but with 16/500 version, that was much more expensive when it comes out. I took her old laptop and resented it for myself. It has more than 300 charge cycle, but the battery still good. And it looks like new. I really suggest everyone to take an old MacBook if you don’t want everything new, just because it makes you happy. Or you’re working with 3D and you would have benefit from new m3
