Customers are saying

Customers find value in the MacBook Pro's excellent battery life, impressive performance, and ease of use. Many appreciate its lightweight design and the convenient Touch Bar, while some find the smaller size ideal. However, the limited number of ports and the inability to upgrade RAM are frequently cited drawbacks. The M1 chip receives considerable praise for its capabilities.

    I have wanted a MacBook ever since I was young. I’ve had Apple products and have a slight advantage when it comes to switching from PC to MAC, however it is still a learning process and what I’ve learned so far about my MacBook is, I’m not even worthy of the speed and power that comes packed into this sleek and slim design. I researched over 2 months when deciding what new computer I was going to buy for work. I have to have several procedures running simultaneously without issues and this MacBook can run way more than I need. The Touch Bar is a main feature and I personally love it, you can personalize it to match your specific needs. I don’t want a touch screen computer because it isn’t necessary and I don’t need the issues and battery drain that come with having one. Speaking of battery, I only charge my laptop every other day normally the third day and I run several processes for over 8hours a day so I’m thoroughly impressed with the battery and it has a charging speed like no other Device I’ve had. The screen clarity is amazing and the colors are vivid, there is not an angle where the screen isn’t visible. The speakers are amazing, clear and loud. The personalization of shortcuts, the trackpad and task bars, exceeded my expectations. Im still learning how to take advantage of the different included tools and programs but after the time I’ve spent on my MacBook I still get surprised over new features and different things I can accomplish. I’m shocked I only have an 8gb ram when there is higher gigs available for this model. I’m already at professional level, how much better can it get?! So after all the gushing of my new electronic love, I have to be honest and give the cons, the camera is crud it’s subpar and embarrassing for a computer of this caliber, thankfully I can connect my phone and use that camera, or buy an external web cam. It has two usb-c ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack, so get ready to buy an sd card reader or a USB adapter depending on your needs. And one con that shouldn’t affect the device decision is that a good case for it and all quality accessories will be a bit pricey depending on the merchant. Other than that I deem this MacBook Pro a must buy for anyone ready to advance their electronic future.

    The Best Laptop You Can Get!

    This is hands down the best computer I have ever bought. It has excellent battery life, is very powerful and has a crisp clear display. It is a very fast machine, and has many nice features that Appeal to me quite nicely. The keyboard is very nice to type on, and the Touch Bar makes tasks easier for me. Touch ID is also very nice. This machine has so much power that it easily runs multiple task intensive apps like Xcode and iMovie at the same time. I was surprised by how good the built in sound is as well. Overall, this machine is a great buy and an excellent workhorse. I would recommend this over practically any other computer. The only exception is the version with 16 GB of Ram rather than 8 GB. For me, it does not make a whole lot of difference, however.

    Great computer, gone with it for a whole 4 semesters of computer science degree and was able to handle everything that I threw at it. Though 8 gb of RAM is low, I still didn't feel any stutter, only when emulating another device in Android Studio (which even 16 gb machines have a hard time doing.). And battery life is amazing, coming from a gaming laptop, this felt like it could run for 2 whole days with a single charge. Would 100% recommend to students

    New MacBook with M1 chip is a beast!

    This is crazy fast and handles editing 4K 60fps and the fan hasn’t even came on yet, which is just unheard of. I had the 16” MacBook and this is faster than it. If your wondering how it will handle big video loads and editing 4K then rest assured this will do it without even breaking a sweat. I wish Apple would start it out with 16gb of ram and a 1080p webcam, but that’s Apple. The battery last about 18 hours with me putting heavy loads on it. I couldn’t get 20 hours like they said, but this is still a huge plus for it as well.

    Bought this Macbook for my college journey and haven’t had any problems with it. The touch bar is a super cool bonus with a couple of features but mainly just for looks, not a necessity. It runs great and i got extra storage on it as it’s mainly for school. Recommend to anyone who can afford it but a Macbook Air would also do just as good of a job!!

    This computer is absolutely amazing. I haven't used a Mac as my daily laptop in close to 10 years now. The performance of this computer is nothing short of impressive. There are faster machines out there but those all come with the expense of added weight, heat, and especially fan noise. Battery life is unreal. The past hour I've been on it with the brightness at max while streaming tidal and browsing the internet while returning emails....I'm still at 92% while writing this. It has been a long time since I've been able to use a laptop.....on my lap. Bottom is ice cold even when doing photo editing. It even has plenty of power to emulate windows using the Beta version of Parallels. It's the ultimate portable powerhouse

    I love this MacBook Pro. I was a little worried since this was an open item and the the condition description was Open Box Satisfactory but I have to say I couldn’t find any imperfection on this laptop. The main reason I purchased it was to upgrade my old 2015 MacBook Pro which struggled handling Gopro 9 footage, I don’t have any issues anymore it runs really smooth even on 4k editing. And the battery last 4 time longer compared to my old Mac

    This computer is fantastic. I use it for daily tasks, work, and for music recording/production. Never lags, never has a glitch, never makes a sound, never gives me any fuss. Extremely snappy with web browsing, videos, Microsoft Office, etc. Wish it had some more ports but the battery life makes up for that. I can record for hours or even edit in Final Cut on this thing and battery is still in the 90s. Only time it gets slightly hot and laggy is rendering 4K, but you can tell there’s a fan because it gets right back on task. I definitely recommend one of you use Apple software and are integrated into Apple ecosystem!

    This is my first MacBook/Apple Computer ever. Haven't used a Apple PC since elementary school when we had floppy disk drives and then again in the mid 90's. I am very impressed how easy it was to navigate coming from a long time Windows person. It took a couple of days but now I am in love with it. Super fast, love how my Apple Watch unlocks my Mac. The price was right thanks to best buy saved a couple hundred on a brand new one.

    This MacBook was excellent for the casual user. I do wish it came with more storage. Some apps would occasionally crash like FCPX, but that may have more to do with the app itself. Just a reminder that it’s worth it to get AppleCare!

    I am so in love with my MacBook. I currently work from home so it has made things much easier. I am crazy over the touch pad. I'm not too crazy about the color, I really wanted the rose gold but I don't think this model comes in that color but other than that LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! It's so easy to use and the quality is amazing. I am a Apple product type of girl and I like how if I have my Apple watch on, my MacBook can unlock itself when I am near it. And in case anyone wanted to know I got the case from Amazon. It came with the silicon keypad and a bag for the laptop. ;)

    This is a blazing fast machine in the market. Sleek and lightweight. The image/video quality is great. I think touchbar is not required really. But, I paid for that so it’s nice that it’s there. The only problem is that it is too high that some software won’t run with M1. Maybe the right term is “not yet” compatible with M1

    Well honestly say I love the computer just because I needed one really bad it's really fast when you're downloading videos after editing them from iMovie. But I have had some problems with it as far as freezing here and there where I have to really restart the whole thing. Not sure why but it is happening but other than that it's a great computer all around. But the only downfall is you have to buy adapters for it because it only has two type c charging ports on it and a headphone jack. Wish I knew that before buying it but I got all the adapters so I'm good now
