The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The M1 Pro chip is designed specifically for media work, with a built-in video accelerator that speeds up video processing tasks significantly.
- This is a renewed model, meaning it's been refurbished or returned, so it's not brand new but should work like one.
- The 16GB of RAM is on the lower end for a Pro machine, so if you're doing very heavy multitasking or working with massive files, you might want more.
As of Aug 30, the Apple MacBook Pro 2021 with Apple M1 Pro chip is overpriced at $827.62 — versus a $719.41 typical price and a $624.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
