Apple Macbook Pro M1 16Gb 1Tb

Heard all the buzz about this new M1 Chip from Apple, so since I do quite a bit of 4k Video editing for my clients, thought I would compare a M1 16gb/1TB version to my 2017 Macbook Pro i7 with 16gb/1TB. The difference is night and day, this M1 chip runs circles around the older Macbook Pro. I don't have any benchmark numbers to throw at you in backing up my claim, you can find those on the internet. One thing I noticed right away is the fan hasn't come on yet and stays cool - under the same tasks as I did before, the older one would get hot rather quickly processing 4k video and turn the fan on. The battery life is a game changer, I am able to go all day editing photos/videos for clients and upload on my hotspot while enroute to the next job without plugging in. With my older 15 Inch Macbook pro, I would need to plug it in every 2-3 hours. I can say as a business owner who deals with photos/videos on the daily, this new M1 chip is more than capable of the task and at a better price point than the $2400+ 16 inch models or previous generation Macbooks.

Ordered 11/20/2020 received 01/18/2021!  Ordered the MacBook Pro 13 with M1 Chip, 16GB and 1TB of storage.    Purchased to upgrade my old MacBook Pro 15.4 Mid 2014  i7 2.5Ghz, 16GB and 256GB of storage.       Wish apple had this one with a 16 display at the time of my purchase! But I can't wait another month without a computer so I decided to go with the 13 display.   Overall very good and solid, super fast, great battery life!  The ONLY bad thing is the Camera Quality!  The camera is just Horrible! I did some research on the problem and it looks like Apple scw us over with the camera! many users with MacBook Pro and Air with M1 chips are complaining about the camera image quality.   For the price of this machine I would expect to have a better camera.

Purchased the 1TB model for my 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max. Fits perfectly. stays connected when computer sleeps, available when re-starting. Using this for Time Machine backups and it works flawlessly.

100% happy with this. Incredibly fast with the 16gb of RAM and 1TB SSD, and, of course, the M1. The only drawback (other than high price) with many Apple products is there is zero upgradability, so it doesn't pay to cheap at the time of purchase. 16GB RAM and the 512GB SSD are the minimum I'd recommend as you can't add RAM or internal storage later.

I purchased Apple Care+ for my new 16-inch M1 MacBook Pro. WIth a purchase this big, I knew I needed to have it covered. Getting to have spill and other accident protection is essential. If you're gonna get something as essential as a laptop for your work, get Apple Care+. Even if you never has to use it, it's always good to have it.

Beautiful design. works seamlessly with my M1 Macbook Pro. Not as bright as the Apple 27”, but more adjustable and more inputs.

The Apple MacBook Pro M1 cable is a little short for most purposes in my life and this extension cable makes it way easier to plug in where you want to. It's a no-brainer.

This adapter is extremely useful - it comes in handy all the time! I use it with my new Apple M1 MacBook Pro - it allows me to plug in numerous drives, an SD card and even power! Couldn't live without this, tbh! B&H ships quickly - they're just the most reliable store online IMO - it's a mistake to buy anywhere else.

I bought this for my new Apple MacBook Pro 16.2 M1 Series 2021 Laptop. The computer is slightly thicker than my Apple MacBook Pro 15.4 Mid 2014 laptop. My Mid 2014 fits perfectly but the new 16 M1 2021 will fit but the tension on the zipper is more than what I am comfortable with. I will use it with my 15 when I want to go in style or incognito. I do think it is a piece of art in a way. I really hate for it to get scuffed up using it but I do take care of my stuff. I've used another brand of harder case for my 15 and had to get the same brand for my 16 not knowing when I ordered this that one was available. I will NOT be returning this because it is just too nice and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Again: You 16 will fit but it is a very tight squeeze that I feel might make the zipper give out prematurely for some people that do not take excessive care of their property. Otherwise its feel and look are unique and exclusive. Great way to hide your goods in a bookcase if needed.

Works well with my Macbook Pro M1
