Customer Ratings & Reviews

Terrific laptop! Apple’s M-series processors are fast and very power efficient. Excellent display. Very long battery life. I’m sufficiently impressed that I bought a Mac Mini (M2 Pro,16GB RAM, 500GB SSD) for my home desktop.

I got this on sale which makes the price point worth it more. Overall, the battery life has been great since I’m not taxing it that much. Occasionally I use Unity, Blender, Xcode, Swift Playground, etc which drains battery a bit. Sound system is pretty good. However, sometimes there’s a weird crackling sound for a split second when I shut down a software or start up a software while the music is playing in YouTube. Not sure the cause but also not a consistent, reproducible issue. The size is great. 16 inch version felt too large and a bit awkward to carry around the house. Screen looks fantastic. The build quality is superb as usual from Apple. One of the reasons for me to switch over to the Apple ecosystem from PC is mainly due to the poor UX on windows based machines. The fact that I can call/FaceTime on any Apple devices is a great testament to Apple’s well integrated UX across their machines. My only nitpick would be for this MacBook to have a notch but no face login is a missed opportunity to improve biometric security on their laptops. But I’ll take fingerprint login still. Thank you!

Apple may be expensive, but for good reason. Build quality, overall look, software, hardware - all of these put together make this laptop the best one I have ever purchased. On top of that, it feels like it will last me for years and years.

Bought this in 2022 and still works great! I got it while I was in college, and used it mostly for school, but now I use it whenever Im away from my pc and it does way more than needed. wouldnt recommend for gaming as most PC games don't have ios ports but that could change in the future. But if you a graphic designer or work in the world of content creation this will not disappoint.

I wanted to upgrade from my 2013 MacBook Air (which still worked great btw), and bit the bullet and got the new Pro. This laptop is solid, the display is A1, it’s fast, quiet and probably way more than I’ll ever need - but I know it’s built to last - and will last me another decade if I take good care of it. You can’t go wrong with MacBooks. Coming from a MacBook Air, I will say the Pro is a lot heavier, and the battery life although good, isn’t as great as the Air- but I knew these things going in, and I’m very happy with my purchase. 5/5 stars.

Excellent product and service! The new MacBook Pro 14 inch is a reliable machine to day by day work. Not heavy, right size, powerful process capacity and low energy consumption. I work all day in the battery.

This laptop runs well. Speed is enough for my needs. Great screen resolution and good battery life. Have had for 6 months with no issues.

This is an amazing MacBook Pro. So much better than the horrible last gen with the terrible butterfly keyboard. The screen is gorgeous, however, you cannot calibrate it with a colorimeter (I’m a photographer/videographer). It runs so cool compared to any of the old intel MacBooks. I have not yet heard the fans turn on, due to it not getting warm enough. The keyboard is way better, no more Touch Bar, and they brought back the SD card slot, HDMI port, and MagSafe. The battery lasts a very long time for me so far, and it has really great speakers. The notch is not noticeable and does not get in the way (for me, at least) as the menu bar runs along either side of it. Overall a beautiful device and very much an improvement over the last generation.

I have always been a fan of apple but this one really made my work flow so much faster! I also love that apple listened and added ports that are necessary for professional settings (SD for Photography, etc)

Got this when it was on sale; and I waited specifically for that, since it brings the cost to only a hundred more than the new AIR M2 once you bump that one to 16GB of memory... and for that you get a slightly bigger screen, few more GPU cores, a third thunderbolt port, and an SD card slot and HDMI out without a dongle, which matters SO much to me. It's a portable, not a dongle holder, and the MagSafe has already saved its life from a kiddo. (though the new AIRs have MagSafe also). I do plan on affixing an external SSD to the protective case I just added to it, since you can get 2TB extra for slightly more than going from 512GB-->1TB by Apple. The same price if it's on sale. I dinged it 1 star for performance because a Logic Project I'm working on from a 2020 iMac i5 runs at basically the same CPU usage. It's a real-world project, and not intended for comparing performance, so it's raw... and pretty heavy. This 8 core sits at the same CPU percentages as that 6-core (12 threads). I'm sure that there will be some cases where this wins out, but it doesn't just blow away the i5 for audio-unit heavy Logic Projects that are non-Apple, even though all of them are M1 native (not Rosetta 2). That said: in both cases, the spread across cores is only about 12%, and without going in to too many details about the plugins used: 12% is just so much headroom as to be laughable. I just don't like hype that from what I can tell doesn't really translate. Final Cut probably notices quite a bit, this M1 difference. We'll see. A note on build quality that I found surprising: when I got this, it creaked, and felt a bit loose on the bottom cover. Creaked like walking up stairs in an old house. And the loose feel reminded me of a Dell from a decade ago, and wasn't very Apple at all. It's a known 'issue' from google's point of view. A trip to the Apple store led to them opening it up, finding a couple of unglued component cables and closed it, making sure to tighten it with some torque. Now, it's as solid as any other MacBook I've had. But know that this can happen. I'm sure I could have swapped it for another, but really what's the point. Get AppleCare and move along. I don't expect issues, to be honest. Get AppleCare. Do it. With all Apple products you ever buy.

I'm happy with this product, and I would buy it again. It is fast and user-friendly. Easy to travel with as it is light in weight. I highly recommend it for business, school, or pleasure.

I am an Apple fan boy from way back, but I also like to check out the PC world and I usually have a Lenovo ThinkPad too. My PC of choice has a 14” screen and as satisfied as I have been with the 13”, 15”, and 16” Macs, that 14” screen is a sweet size. Having owned the 14” MacBook Pro for a little over a week, I am very happy with it. It’s M1 Pro chip beats the M1 and even M2 processors and it doesn’t slow dow from overheating. Battery life is crazy long and the MagSafe3 charger is a relief. Add to that my feeling that no Mac should be sold with less than 16gb of ram and 512gb of storage and you can see why this model is nearly perfect.

It is a reality good laptop for a very good price. Display is the best out of any laptop and same for the speakers. Performance is great, everything is working flawlessly. Battery life is great for such a bright display and performance.

I have had my laptop for two years, never take it anywhere ( I have 3 iPads) and I have had to replace the charger that is brand new twice already every six months, I’m getting another today because it stops charging. The battery is good we check it each time please look into that. Each charger is $80. Not Best Buy fault but something to check with Apple.

Great product been with Apple for years now and had never failed me. Fastest computer and still 2023 runs beautifully. 10/10 great battery life and fast running software for editing.

I moved from a Mac desktop to this laptop instead. Hooked up to two screens, it's still much faster than the 1T desktop was with the i5 chip. I work from home and usually only need to plug it in to charge at the end of the day. No complaints here!

This has been the best laptop I’ve ever owned. It will last me for years. Battery life is amazing and it never seems to slow down no matter how much I throw at it. I’m sold on Macs and will never go back to PC after this.

Love this form-factor and the return of MagSafe. The pro-motion display is tack sharp and very accurate for my editing work. It’s been really hard to stump the M1 pro chip. This machine has been a tank, and has been well worth switching from Windows.

I traded in my M1 Mac Mini for this. The Mini was a bit underpowered for intended use while the MacPro 14 with the M1 Pro is infinitely faster at all tasks. I've had it for 4 months and never had an issue. The fan kicks on when necessary as I edit videos or crunch code. Plenty of USB-C ports, needed a USB-A adapter for a legacy accessory. Touch ID is excellent, touch pad is spot on as well as the keyboard. The screen is superb while speakers/mic/webcam work brilliantly. I'm running a number of Macs and PCs yet this MacBook serves as the quarterback of my desktop environment. It's worth every penny.... until the M2 Pro, hehe.

Laptop for longevity. This laptop is for the long haul. Super fast and efficient. No noise, no heat, just performance! Battery life is almost 2 days with general productivity work.
