Apple 2024 MacBook Pro Laptop with M4 Pro, 12‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU: Built for Apple Intelligence, 14.2-inch Display, 24GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage; Silver with AppleCare+ (3 Years)

I'm a newcomer to the Apple world. I was a die hard PC guy for years. Then my company forced me to use Apple for the past two years. And first I wasn't impressed. But as a photographer and sometimes video editor, I couldn't help but be amazed by the ingenuity of the Apple ecosystem.Then I took a trip to the Apple store and trust me when I tell you that Apple is already thinking far into the future. I've purchased PCs and Laptops from Best Buy and the service is severely lacking. But at the Apple store you're treated like royalty. There are instructors there to give classes. You can set an appointment to try out futuristic new gear. The store is designed for your comfort and education.It was the trip to the Apple store that sold me. And now I really enjoy the connectivity of my Apple products. I can take a picture on my phone, write notes on my iPad, and edit them all together in the PC with little to no latency.I bought a refurbished 14" M4 Pro, and I can not tell that it wasn't new. The packaging and presentation looked like it came straight from the factory. I've had no issues with the macbook and I've been traveling with it for a couple of months now.The 14" is perfect for me because I travel a lot, and when I'm working from home I have the Asus Pro Art monitor to edit on. It feels like the perfect combination to me.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had a MacBook Pro from 2014 and this replaced it. I looked for this MacBook at Best Buy for 3kSi, this was an easy choice at half the price.

Perfect machine for my needs - took a course in ai and Machine learning. The streaming video quality is flawless’ I highly recommend this laptop!

Came in perfect condition, been using it for almost 6 months and haven't had any issue, came in it's box and everything!

Excellent product, the specifications and quality were correct and the delivery was secure.

I’m not sure if reviews are needed since it’s Apple quality.

Muy buena muy rápida y no se calienta excelente la batería dura muchísimo

This is my very first Apple device, my initial thoughts are:I am very impressed by the hardware of this device. Specifically:- A quick CPU benchmark placed this at around 90% of my desktops performance (Ryzen 9 9800X3D). For a laptop, that is absolutely unheard of.- The battery seems to last forever, even with semi-intensive workloads. At one point I used it for an hour and still had 97% battery.- The display is incredible. The contrast, resolution, and refresh rate combined make this about the best I've seen.- The webcam is high quality.- The MagSafe charger is very niceIn general, Macs don't support as much software as Windows. In my case, it does support everything I would need a laptop for, but it is something to keep in mind.However, because Apple has their own OS, hardware, etc, the software experience is far more tailored to the device than Windows devices are. As an example, the webcam settings are very easy to use and access.The device itself is very light and thin, it was a little smaller than I expected, ordering the 14 inch one, but I don't have any issues with it.In conclusion: This is a premium laptop, for a premium price - designed with ease of use and workloads in mind.
