This MacBook Pro is a workhorse with a proven ability to smoothly work through 5.9K raw video footage, huge After Effects renders of animations with Cinema 4D files, and multitrack Pro Tools sound design with multiple live plugin processing.

I'm only selling it because the nature of my work has changed. This ships in the original Apple Box/packaging within the original Apple shipping box.

I've always used it inside a home studio, with the laptop actually closed (no wear) since I use an external keyboard and monitors.

I waited for this configuration to show up as "Apple Certified Refurbished" back in 2022 to get the full 64 GB RAM / 32-Core GPU at a lower price. I paid $4,409.00 less than one year ago. It has performed without any problems and is spotless. See image of original order.

This laptop (identified by serial#) is still covered by Apple Warranty until April 13, 2023.

Apple is currently selling this same conifigured 2021 "Apple certified refurbished" laptop for $3769 on their site. Check to compare!
