QR Code Link to This Post
* Gorgeous Retina XDR 16 inch ultra-thin bezel display. Laptop gives you a gigantic 16" display in a laptop usually the size of a 14/15 inch display, thanks to its ultra thin bezel.
* XDR display, high-density display: Excellent contrast, brightness, contrast ratio, color range. Allows to work in the traditional Mac style of having multiple windows at once, or watch streaming content in the best quality possible. It comes with light temperature sensors so this also has TrueTone and NightShift. Your eyes will definitely feel better looking at this screen.
* Premium sound. Immersive stereo and spatial audio with rich bass tones thanks to its 6 speakers with force-cancelling woofers.
* M1 Pro chip:
** 10 cores, 8 performance + 2 energy efficient cores.
** 16-core GPU
** 16-core Neural Engine
** Hardware accelerated video encoding/decoding for H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW formats
====== Other features =====
* OEM 16 GB RAM
* OEM 1 TB SSD
* HDMI output. Forget about thunderbolt dongles, docks, adapters, etc. This laptop features a full HDMI port.
* 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports.
* MagSafe magnetic connector. True to its intentions, this Mac model goes back to its roots with this connector which was missed for multiple iterations and finally reintroduced.
* Headphone jack.
* SDXC reader.
* Battery lasts days before needing recharge thanks to the ultra efficient M chips also not requiring fans. 20+ hours movie watching and 10+ web browsing.
* 1080p Facetime camera
* Studio-quality 3-microphones array with excellent noise rejection and directional "hearing" for your lectures, meetings, streams, recordings, etc.
* Includes original MagSafe charger.
===== Notes =====
* Barely used (less than 100 hours overall, less than 30 hours un-docked, so keyboard and trackpad have not been used that much).
* I got this for a remote work gig but I ended up not travelling often to the office so I settled for a desktop mac. While I miss using the gorgeous screen of this laptop, its not my preferred choice for permanent desktop docking, and so its been stored most of the time (ocasional recharge to keep battery condition) since purchased (late 2022).
* Venmo/Zelle/Wire only. No cash please.
* Comes with Ventura 13.6 fresh reset.
* Im not sure if this is recommended for casual work, its rather great for work requiring some horsepower and relatively long sessions, as a mobile workstation, unlike its smaller 14 inch counterpart, this one is in the mid-size laptops, so please consider it for portability (bus/air travel).
