The other option was the current refurbished deal on Woot for $1399 for 1TB SSD, but 16gb ram and 10 core CPU/ 16 core GPU.
This one, as post mentions, is 512gb SSD, 32gb ram, 8 core CPU/14 core GPU.
The space is not as much of an issue - I can use iCloud, or an external SSD.
I believe that the extra 16gb of RAM is more important than the loss of 2 core CPU/2 core GPU.
Despite being $100 more, and for a brand new device, I think this edges out the other deal on Woot for the $1399 deal.
The M1 chip used in these laptops were years ahead of what was released at the time to the point that non Apple silicon laptop companies did not want to send out review models to be compared with the original m1 release.
So despite being 2021 model laptops, they hold up well even when compared to laptops this year. Not to mention similar priced laptops still often lack the cooling, efficiency, and build quality of the MacBook pros.
So ignore anyone trying to shit on this 2021 MacBook pros. They are very good laptops still and well worth the current price.
At this price I have only seen this on shady secondary dealers in "used" or "good" condition. the microcenter deal was the best deal on these at $1399, and that was for refurbished. these are brand new.
where on earth are you pulling this from?

Refurbished are the ones that need to be mentioned in the title.

In my brief research to decide if it I should get m1 or pay extra for m2, it seems like the m1 512GB SSD is substantially faster than the m2 512GB SSD. In number terms at least, not sure if it's actually noticeable. I'll probably regret the 512GB size more than the speed of the drive anyway.
Otherwise performance of m1 and M2 are not that far apart. Someone on Reddit said the speakers are way better on the m1 than the m2 models.

i have been waiting for a 32gb deal for 6 months and i probably would've still held out if i had another computer. you wont get this for $1000 any where.
if we want to play make believe i think we should all get these for $500. see? i can do it too!

If you disagree, lets see what laptop/price you feel are objectively better.
FWIW: These M1 Pros are able to run local AI LLMs like Llama2 quite well (7b and 13b)
