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.
512gb is ridiculous in 2025. tired of apple upcharge on storage so they can sell iCloud subscription
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.
