Apple 2021 MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max Chip (16-inch, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD Storage) Silver (Renewed)

I ordered the computer in "Excellent Condition," and there were no major dents or anything. However, the keyboard was definitely used and not cleaned effectively, as it only took some wet wipes to remove the previous owner's oils.I ordered the computer thinking I was going to get a 512GB model because that's what the listing said I would receive. However, I got a 1-terabyte model instead!!! So I am thrilled.The computer itself works great and is super fast much better than the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go that I was using I chose the pro over the newer air model because I felt that the air would melt with the amount of work that I do (Adobe). I haven’t had much time with it to see if the battery lasts long enough, because the battery has degraded to only 86% health, which isn’t the best for a computer in "Excellent Condition." Otherwise, I am happy with it and I hope that happiness continues...

I was a little hesitant about buying a renewed MacBook Pro, but I’m so glad I went for it! This 2021 14-inch model with the M1 Pro chip has blown me away. Right out of the box, it looked and felt brand new—no scratches, dents, or any sign that it was ever used.The performance is exactly what I hoped for: lightning-fast, handling my work tasks and creative projects (even heavy video editing!) without a hitch. The 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD provide plenty of speed and storage for my needs, and the battery life has been outstanding, lasting me through an entire day without needing a charge.Space Gray looks sleek as ever, and I appreciate that I got all this power at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new one. If you’re on the fence about going renewed, take the leap. It’s a great way to get premium Apple performance without breaking the bank!

Honestly, after reading so many mixed reviews I was worried—very worried—especially since I also had to pay import taxes when the computer arrived in my country. But it turned out the laptop really was like new. The battery had only three charge cycles, which clearly shows they took the time to refurbish it properly, considering it’s a 2021 model. My experience was very good—very good.

2nd Edit: and we’re going back down to one star, because the seller sent the exact same power block AGAIN. Even after I told them what the recommended Block for this particular MacBook Pro required. You could literally google the correct size or look on the Apple website. But instead they sent me the wrong size cord, which won’t even power the machine, at best, and will ruin the battery, at worst. Hopefully this laptop will last because I will not be buying from Amazon renewed again.Editing up to 3 stars from 1 to give the Seller some credit on this interaction. They immediately send out the proper cord and the current laptop is working great. Unfortunately, I am still on laptop #3 since May via the Amazon Renewed program, so I can't morally give more positive feedback than that, at this time.This is my third MacBook Pro purchase through Amazon’s renewed program in under two months. I’ve been trying to upgrade from my 2013 machine (which Apple has basically bricked through forced obsolescence) without dropping $4K+ on a brand-new system.Laptop #1 wouldn’t even boot. Immediate return.Laptop #2 took a month to arrive (despite “expedited” shipping), showed up with a warped frame, and started overheating within weeks. Returned again—now waiting up to 30 days for a refund.Laptop #3, ordered at a significantly higher price point to avoid more hassle, finally arrived… with the wrong size charger.The unit shipped with an 87W aftermarket block instead of the required 140W charger. After 90 minutes on the charger, the battery was still at 8%. I contacted Amazon support expecting a quick fix (like every other returnable item they handle), but was told I had to wait 24–48 hours for an email from “the seller” before anything could happen—even though the seller is Amazon themselves, via a contractor.I didn’t ask to return the laptop. I just needed the correct charger. Instead, I had to buy a proper 140W charger out of pocket—again. I haven’t even removed the wrapper from the incorrect one they sent.This should have been an easy, next-day resolution. Instead, it’s been an exhausting string of poor quality control, long delays, and frustrating support over what should have been a minor fix.Amazon: Do better.

I purchased an Apple MacBook Pro 2021 with the M1 Pro chip (14-inch, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) Space Gray (Renewed) from Chrome Source on January 1, 2025, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience.The MacBook arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described, and has been performing flawlessly since day one. The renewed device looks and feels like new, and the performance has been outstanding—perfect for my work and everyday use.What really sets Chrome Source apart is their customer service. Shortly after my purchase, they reached out to ensure everything was going well with my device. They even offered me a 1-year extended device warranty at no extra cost, which shows how much they care about their customers’ satisfaction and peace of mind.I highly recommend Chrome Source for anyone looking for quality renewed tech products and exceptional customer support.
