Allstate warranty is useless. They will try their best to dodge paying you, after you spend 2-3 hours with offshore call center people.

I got the 14" version of this as a Best Buy refurb a few weeks ago for $1100. I would have liked the 16" for less than $200 more but I felt more confident with the BB option.

True many don't need this much storage in a base model when 90% of their work is in the cloud, but it's not ridiculous of Apple to include it as a starting point. Ha, but they do charge way too much for storage, value play is to go for the 512gb model and grab an external 4GB drive for $200.

The new (not used) M4 MBP at $1299 might be a better deal depending on your needs. Single-core is faster, camera is better, screen is brighter, battery life is longer, multi-core CPU is about the same, though memory bandwidth and GPU are weaker.

shhhh. don't say that too loud. there was a sale on here for a 128gb ssd M1 Air (edu market "refurb" that was pretty beat up)....and people were wildly in favor of it.

I, for one, am entirely on your side. 512gb is the absolute bare-bones I'd ever entertain on a laptop today....it was low-end back in 2015. Especially on a performance-tier machine such as this.

yeah - sucks. But you can easily buy a 2TB external SSD for $150 to install larger software on there and also use it for storage.

I've never had any issue with using All States.

...and not manufacturer certified refurbished, so who knows what "refurb" even means in these posts.

It's a spit-n-shine refurb, sometimes with more spit than shine.

At least with ebay, you have some protections. You have a 60-day return period, if the item isn't in the condition as advertised. Furthermore, you have a 1-year "All States" warranty...which is more than the paltry 90-day Woot warranty offered on some of their electronics.

This one also has a 1-year "Apple" warranty, so chances are you'll be able to get AppleCare on this unit. That's by far the best, if you have one of those "Apple Stores" (orchards?) near you.
