Customer Ratings & Reviews

The screen, the speed, the keyboard, everything is exactly what you’d expect from a “pro” named laptop. We use it to edit photos and the everyday web surfing. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a new MacBook. Looks good too!

I love my MacBook! It is very user friendly and the battery is long lasting.

We purchased this for our elementary principal who has been using her personal MacBook for several years and it finally started having battery issues. She requested a MacBook but with a bigger screen. We purchased this one and she is happy with it so far. It has some definite weight to it. I would definitely consider getting a bag to carry it around in. She just carries it as is but I think most would prefer not to do that. The speed is great. I set it up for her with her Apple ID, etc. the other day, purchased a license for the desktop version of Office products and had it all ready to go in under an hour. There was literally no lag.

Upgraded from a 2019 13 inch MacBook Pro with that silly intel processor. I’m so glad I did. The 16 inch M1 MacBook Pro handles all the processes I throw at it. I do quite a bit of photo editing with Lightroom and Photoshop. The fans have not kicked on once with the new laptop. There’s hardly any heat coming from it as well. It’s fast. I do miss the much hated Touch Bar, but you get over it. The notch at the top is not noticeable on the space grey and when using dark wallpapers. The battery is outstanding! Well worth the purchase.

Where do I even start with this review - I suspect I can start with stating this is the best portable computer I have ever purchased. When I heard Apple was moving to their silicon, I was somewhat apprehensive. I thought my days of using the Mac would be over, as it would lead down a path of apps that only work on M1 or only work on Intel, and there would be compatibility issues and bugs to work out for the first few generations. My expectations couldn't have been farther from the truth. All but one or two ancillary applications I use have been compiled for native Apple Silicon and those that aren't run without issue. The most prominent app I use that is still not native for Apple Silicon is Microsoft Teams. Previous to this, I had a 2017 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar - it was a dual-core i7 with 16GB of memory. A solid performer at the time, but I was never impressed with battery life, and the amount of heat that the machine produced was evident of the inefficiencies in that platform. The new M1 machine is light years ahead in this regard. No matter how long I use the machine or whatever I throw at it, it NEVER heats up - and along these lines, the battery lasts forever. I'm not sure I've had the battery drop past 75% even after using for upwards of four hours untethered to the charger. I was hesitant to go anywhere without the charger with my old MBP. With this device, I have no issues going out for a few hours with the computer and not worrying about if I've got my charger with me. The display on this machine is fantastic. It's bright, colors are vivid, and the ProMotion Refresh is killer. Scrolling through any type of content is so smooth. Did I mention it's fast? Apps open instantly, and 16GB of memory seems to be enough. I now use this as my main computer, displacing my 27" Quad Core i5 iMac with 24GB of memory on my desktop machine for seven years. I have tons of apps open all the time, including most of the core MS Office suite, text editors, SSH sessions, Slack, Zoom, and countless browsers with multiple tabs, and this machine doesn't slow down in the least. All in all, I can't say anything bad about this computer, even for its size, the extra pound and change that it weighs over my previous generation 13" MBP. If you twisted my arm, I'd say that this machine is slightly too large to use comfortably in economy seats on most aircraft - so keep that in mind.

Very powerful out of the box and years later. The MBP can handle anything you throw at it with no sweat. Very fast computer and has a beautiful display. We are on year 3 and the computer runs just as good as it did out of the box on day 1. Would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed. I have always spent the money for a MAC, because it lasts much longer than a high-end PC.

I'm Very Pleased With My New MacBook Pro M1 (My 1st Mac)! Also, (AAA) "Wonderful Experience" With EXATTEK CORP ... Very Fast Delivery, Packaged Securely, And Communication. I Definitely Would Purchase Through Them Again ! (AAA) "BEST BUY" Has " Always" Been (And Will Continue To Be) My Go-To For Electronics-Appliances- TV-Computers-Cameras-& Etc.

Great product battery life is great as well as available features.

Pretty much love everything about this MacBook Pro. I'm accustomed to working on a ~14" screen and the additional real estate with a 16" is awesome. It's not a lightweight device but worth the screen size + excellent battery life.

Best laptop out there, fast and easy to use and manage.

At first, i was eyeing a 14 inch pro or macbook air, but when i saw the 16 inch on clearance, i hust had to get it. Better performance and more screen real estate for the same price as a 14 inch

Awesome laptop. The screen is fantastic quality and the speakers are the best I’ve ever heard on a laptop. The speed is unmatched. And finally! They brought back the HDMI port on this model.

My previous laptop was very old, so I appreciate the speed of this one. It charges much more quickly, and the charge lasts longer, too. I also like the extra security of the fingerprint identifier.

This is a brilliant piece of equipment. The screen is outstanding, it is fast. Truly the best of the best and worth the price tag.

This laptop is by far the best I’ve ever used. I’m amazed by the quality of the display as well as the speed in which it operated.

Solid laptop for the open box deal I found. I don't have any complaints at all and I am so glad I went with this size. I am very used to it. Highly recommend!

After lusting after the M1 Pros since their debut, and reading or watching just about every review on them, I purchased a 14 inch Base Model which is an upgrade for my 2015 and 2017 MacBook Pro 15.4 inch. I selected the 14 over the 16 inch primarily because of the weight and perceived better balance which I equated with the smaller size. The 2015 and 2017 always felt somewhat unbalanced or awkward in my lap so I primarily used them as desktop computers. Additional factors were adequate screen size (I thought the 13 in was too small) and performance for my needs (primary use is MS Office applications). 10 days into the purchase I began to second guess my choice, primarily on screen size and as a second monitor for my external display so I purchased a 16 in to try out. The extra screen size was really nice as well as the slight improvement in sound quality. For my use, I did not notice any performance difference between the 14 and 16 in. Another important observation was that, as opposed to my 2015 and 2017 MacBook pros, the 16 inch though slightly heavier than both, felt balanced in my lap which was a key decision in selecting the 14 inch. Another observation was that the keys were slightly quieter during typing on the 14 than the 16 inch. It was a tough decision but in the end I decided that the 14 inch adequately met all my needs and decided to return the 16 inch. Though cost was not a factor in my decision, the $500 savings will be used to upgrade my phone and purchase desktop accessories. Apple really did a brilliant job with these.

I am used to my old Dell Inspiron laptop (which has a Windows operating system). Although I am very familiar with Apple iPhones, I have never owned an Apple computer before. However, I have read very positive reviews on Apple laptops over the years. So, I was really excited to purchase my first Apple MacBook Pro! I love the large 16" screen and quick response time. It's a beautiful design, but the laptop (and screen, especially) seem a bit fragile, compared to my Dell Inspiron (which is made of thicker, substantial material). I am going to purchase a hard case, to protect this laptop from any damage or potential drops. Also, I need to purchase an adapter compatible with this MacBook Pro to be able to plug in my external hard drive USB and passports. That is one disappointing aspect of Apple laptops - as my Dell Inspiron has regular ports, which can easily accommodate my Passport device and other USB flash drives. The Apple MacBook is quite expensive, and it's very unfortunate that I now have the added expense of purchasing an adapter. Apple should definitely consider adding more traditional ports to their laptops, so that people don't have to buy additional devices. I heard that the Apple MacBook is great for editing photos, videos and voice over recordings. So that is one of the main reasons that I purchased this particular model. I am hoping to produce some great work on the Apple MacBook Pro!

This MacBook Pro is super fast with the M1 Pro chip, the 16 inch display is crisp and clear, battery lasts ages, and the speakers are booming. Never heard the fan cut on once. Sadly I returned because I could not part with my beloved touchbar on my previous laptop, I guess you don’t realize how much you use something until it’s gone. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend MBP M1 16 to anyone!

This is my second Mac computer, I really enjoy using it. Once you buy Mac you never go back! Compare this from my other computers
