Purchased this laptop in July last year. it is an awesome MacBook Pro, plenty screen space and 16GB (with the M1 memory size is no longer an issue), and 512Gb SSD, really moves quickly in applications. Haven't used it a whole lot mostly for programming courses and learning linux. but realized i have too much tech and need to downsize it all. i did not purchase the extended warranty for it, but with all Macs i have had none of them have ever had any issues, all worked o.k.
