Apple 2021 MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max Chip, 16-inch, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD Storage (QWERTY English) Silver (Renewed)

The MacBook arrived quicker and in better condition than I expected. The seller shipped it from a nearby location, and it was delivered the next day.The MacBook came with an aluminum-look skin, which I didn’t mind for the first few hours—but I ultimately decided to peel it off. I was pleasantly surprised to find only minor scratches on the top lid, which you’d have to look closely to even notice. There was also very light keyboard wear, but after a quick cleaning, it was barely visible. The screen is in perfect condition, and the ports appear to have been barely used.Battery health is at 86%, which isn’t bad. Since this is a 16" model with a larger battery, it actually lasts a bit longer per charge than my previous 13" MacBook Pro M1. The MacBook came with a generic 140W power adapter and MagSafe-to-USB-C cable. I had hoped for a genuine Apple charger, but I’ve been using my own 65W Apple adapter, and it works great.Spec-wise, I received exactly the chip and RAM configuration I ordered. As a bonus, I was shipped a model with 2TB of storage—sweet!Overall, despite the battery being at 86% and receiving a non-Apple power adapter, this has been an incredible purchase and experience. I'm glad I bought from Macs Depot. 10/10!

Good quality, as described,, works well and good price.

No damage found, battery health is also very good. And checked for other authenticity checks and found them good too. Overall a great deal.

The computer works perfectly. I was a little nervous to go with refurbished, but very happy I did. It works as if it were brand new, and I saved a good amount of money. Also, the computer is in practically perfect condition. Just one minor scratch on the keyboard, but everything works, and they sent the computer with an exterior case and a keyboard cover which was a nice surprise. I usually dont take time to write reviews, but I am very happy with the purchase.

After returning from a 6 month international film trip, my old Mac died and I thought I lost all the footage. Fortunately it was backed up, but I literally had to launch a crowd funding campaign to help fund a new computer.A month later, I finally had enough money to get a new computer and I made sure to buy from Smart Resale CA because they had better reviews compared to the other company that is included in this listing (Amazon should be more transparent about that, because if you don’t know to look for it, you’ll miss the fact you can have multiple sellers under one listing).So I get the MacBook M1 Max, and it’s perfect for a week, and then the screen suddenly glitches out one day, crashes, and when I turn it back on, all I get a blurred out screen. Eventually it started up properly, but this time had horizontal lines across the display. After contacting them to see if they could they could send a replacement or do something to help ensure I’m not without a computer again for weeks once I return it, they said the only thing they could do is ensure they refunded me as soon as it arrived back to them. So I send it back, 4 days later it arrives to them on a Friday early afternoon.I wasn’t able to view the screen (even over HDMI) after resetting it before returning and so I contacted them to make sure they properly wipe it (Putting a lot of faith and trust that my wipe worked and that they’ll do it again properly to ensure no information is recovered and stollen). That alone is enough reason alone for why I would never another MacBook off Amazon without being able to get Apple Care (which you can’t with these given the year and the fact it’s being sold by rando 3rd party companies).So they were responsive throughout the weekend and this whole process which I’ll give them credit for, but when I asked for my refund they send me some BS today (Monday) saying that were off work Friday and through the weekend, and that they do their best to process refunds as quickly as possible (despite still messaging me every single day throughout the weekend, and explicitly stating that they would process the refund immediately after receiving the computer).So now, I’m going on over a week without the refund being processed (not accounting for the delay back to my card once they do submit it), and every day that this goes on, is another day I’m loosing money and longer my money is held up before I can buy a new computer. This isn’t a $20 supplement, it’s a $2,000 computer that most people are likely buying for work and need to work.The fact Amazon doesn’t have a better system for ensuring there are big waiting periods for either customers or seller with high ticket items like this is astonishing, but the fact is, it’s a toss up if you will get a faulty computer, and if you do, just know, that Smart Resale will not make it easy for you to return or replace, and you can’t get Apple care, so if you’re computer dies after the return window closes, you are going to be out half the cost of the computer.Hope this helps save someone $2000 and weeks of headache and time loss.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Excellent condition - like a brand new computer. Customer service impeccable.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the M1 Max chip, 2021, Excellent Condition however my first impression was Questionable. As you can see for yourself the screen was flickering and didn't appear to be working properly. It was a bummer because I was excited about getting the M1 max chip and to see that as soon as i opened the laptop was disheartening. Just as I was about to put it back in the package, it seemed to right itself. I setup the Macbook and thus far will monitor the situation to see if it happens again.You get what you pay for, event though I paid more for the "excellent" condition. Maybe it was a fluke.

I cannot say enough amazing things about the seller MacPro-LA! I was looking for a powerful MacBook Pro for my work as a writer, and although I didn't need the latest edition, I was still a little nervous about getting a refurbished unit. But wow--this machine is everything! It performs like an absolute dream and handles everything I throw at it effortlessly. Honestly, if I didn't know better, I'd think it was brand new. The condition is immaculate! I'm beyond grateful to MacPro-LA for offering such a high-quality refurbished device. With the complimentary storage upgrade and the careful packaging, you can tell they truly care about what they sell, and I appreciate that so much. If you're thinking about getting a refurbished Mac, don't even hesitate--this is the place to go. So obsessed with my new MacBook, thank you!
