    Over 2K for a used laptop 3 generations old?

    Not to be confused with products sold by Apple that are actually, honestly refurbished, rather than just used. https://www.apple.com/au/shop/refurbished/mac

      The M1 Max isn't a bad price/machine, for the right person. The 32 core GPU, is better than the 20 core GPU on the base M4 Pro, it's got 8gb more ram, and double the disk space, while being 600-800 dollars less.

      M2 Pro is also pretty decent.

        Totally anecdotal but my M3 pro company laptop got broken and I was given an old M1 max. everything cpu (even just navigating an IDE) is noticeably slower and I find myself very frequently frustrated by how often it buffers for random tasks. The M1 max is still not bad of course. If I started with this in the first place I honestly wouldn't complain, but it's very surprising to see such a drastic change.

        edit: I'm not doing anything gpu intensive so can't speak for that

        • Well yes… M1 Max only had a 10 core CPU and M3 Pro started at 11. And M1 cores are slower than M3 cores.

          M1 Pro and M1 Max actually have the exact same CPU, the only difference is that the M1 Max, has way more GPU cores. This is also the same with the upgraded M4 Pro, and the binned M4 Max..

        • The M1 series does have a different and slower wifi, 800mbs on 5ghz and 100mbs or so on 2.4. maybe some issue there with the buffering you see? Also has hdmi2.0 instead of 2.1 (only 60hz at 4k). however you can bypass this with a thunderbolt to displayport cable. I have this on a 4k OLED 120hz. Looks magnificent. These m chips on Apple are great for everything except gaming imo. M1 max has a great memory speed and great graphics processing

    • M1 Max especially if it's in good condition will still beat anything else out there for similar price. if you are looking for a machine for a creative workload, it will be perfect. calibrated screen, built like tank, great keyboard, speakers, etc. nothing else comes close

    M1 Max still rips. Better than M4 base for video, pdfs etc and cooling is silent.

    Cheapest 16 incher with 1tb is now $4300

    Depends on battery condition I'd say

    • Good coz I got one with 64Gb/2Tb in 2021 and was pissed when it got superseded almost as soon as I got it (cost heaps too). Hoping it lasts 10 years.

      • M1 Max got superseded in 2023

      • Apple considers devices "vintage" at 7 years old lmao

          I'm an IT tech and I usually say to people I expect at least 5 years and would like 10 years from a computer (particularly if not buying entry level ones). All the ones (Windows) I built for people lasted at least 10 years before becoming obsolete. It really annoys me to have to get rid of perfectly good computers just because the OS doesn't support them any longer.

          • @wfdTamar: 10 years has been my experience, with MacBooks. I have an Intel Mac (one of the most recent ones), and it has crossed 8 years so far, I think it'll make it to 9 or 10 years, its working perfectly well still, even the battery is the original amazingly.

            • @conza: Lucky that the battery is still good. I've found they lose capacity a lot (in all Apple devices, probably all Li-Ion devices). I found the AlDente app too late (seems a good way to conserve battery life).

        Hoping it lasts 10 years.

        I don't know. The 2015 MacBook is ancient by now, but obviously it's due to the Intel > Apple Silicon switch. They may change the architecture again as they seem to do that every decade or so:

        1997 Motorola -> PowerPC
        2005 PowerPC -> Intel
        2019 Intel -> ARM

      I had a MBP16 M1 Max 64GB and now have M3 MAX 128GB and in general usage, i cant tell the difference in speed. When using all cores like for lightroom export then definitely the M3 is faster but otherwise they both feel as snappy

    typing this on MBP 16 M1 Max 32 GPU cores 64/2TB it's still a beast. I looked of course into latest models, and it's not worth upgrading unless you go for M4, but the equivalent will set me back $6.5k so what the hell.

    M1 Max is still a solid machine and while I could shave off a second here and there, it's definitely not worth spending that much on M4. I will tell you that when M4 Max will be sold at these prices here lol I will get one!

    It's a good deal if the state of the laptop is half decent. I scored mine for less than that but I guess I got lucky. I had to replace the battery, but it isn't hard, battery cost me around $100 and I replaced it myself. solid machine, no complaints. also running deepseek locally is awesome.

  • I would get m4 instead

    • +1

      depends on what you need. base 16 incher m4 pro comes with 24/512 and will set you back $3500 even on AOC

      and for video encoding and some other scenarios it will still lose to M1 Max because Max comes with dual encoding engines, and RAM bandwidth is still 400 GB/s which M4 Pro doesn't beat. plus M1 Max comes with at least 1TB and 32GB so if you need more storage or RAM that's obviously a win for $1k less than base M4 pro

      sure maybe m4 pro will be supported for longer, but hey, quite likely by the time M1 Max will be out of support, M4 Max will probably cost this much or thereabouts, refurbished. with Apple silicon you don't need latest and greatest, unless you are doing something very specific and earn money from it - then be my guest, M4 is your choice then, you're probably tax deducting the cost anyway.

      for me - I do photo editing and occasional video edit, plus dabble in all sorts of AI, M1 Max is the cheapest way to get 64GB unified memory, and it excels in everything else I throw at it.. m4 is not necessarily the way to go. yes it's a bit snappier, but not to a degree that M1 suddenly would feel sluggish because it doesn't. still miles ahead of any Intel based Mac.
