While only some units are returned due to technical issues, every unit is evaluated to ensure it meets Apple's quality standards.Įach Apple Certified Refurbished Product: Or, ideal situation, borrow a laptop for a week and order an M1 with 16GB and take it from there.(1) What are Apple Certified Refurbished Products?Īpple Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned Apple products that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale. If you just need it for browsing, or photo editing, or things that don't necessarily need the RAM, definitely go M1. The chip can handle anything you throw at it, but the lack of RAM could really limit what you can do. If you're doing video work or audio work, I think you'll really need the 16GB RAM. So really, it depends what you need it for. When they bring out the next chip for the 16" I'm upgrading immediately, if it wasn't for the speakers and screen size of my current laptop I'd have swapped over already. It can also run huge audio sessions (especially in Logic) and 4K video editing projects, however, that is with 16GB RAM. The battery life is also very poor, I had the battery replaced after around 9 months of use and still I can get around 3 hours use out of it just browsing the internet, working it's a maximum of 2 hours.Ĭheck that against the M1 - I've used the Mini and the Air, and my colleague has the Pro, all the same comments - no/negligible fan noise, essentially the same performance barring some things that aren't up to speed on compatibility yet, insane battery life in comparison and no issues with cooling. The fans are constantly running, whether I'm working or just browsing the internet. Sessions that take up 30-40% CPU are suddenly unable to play back. But, bad points, I'm in the UK, and in the hot weather we have at the moment, I genuinely can't work with the laptop on my lap in the daytime because it overheats so badly when I'm working. 
I'm an audio mixer/producer and I can do around 50% of the mix on my laptop speakers, and that's absolutely crazy. Very good, the screen, the speakers are insane.
I have the 16" MBP with i9 16GB RAM, and it's good. It's a shame they don't stock the M1 with 16GB in store. When you want to go out just disconnect one cable from laptop and you’re good to go. This way you connect the macbook pro via one cable to monitor and it is being powered, transmits video to dusolay and display acts as a usb hub. Maybe look for a thunderbolt/usbc display with a usb hub and charging via the usbc/thunderbolt cable. With a 5k Ultrafine monitor from LG (this way you use 1440p halved appeared resolution natively) or any 4k 27” monitor (using upscaling to 1440p of appeared elements to get better than laptop display realestate at the expense of some performance), or just a regular cheap 1440p 2k monitor which is not at all a bad option - will do the trick. It’s good on-the-go and for short work, but for sitting down working whole shift I’m sure it’s not enough.
The laptop’s screen by itself won’t be enough for anything more than some writing in word processor and even that can be tiresome after a while, as the screen is small and the realestate on the screen is too small for any serious work in adobe apps and with images.
