The M1 Pro chip is still an extremely capable chip in 2025; even the base M1 is great. Unless you're doing a lot of high-compute tasks, you're unlikely to notice a significant difference in performance compared to the M4. The multi-core performance of the M4 is only around 30% better than the M1 Pro (8).
The only area where the M4 would dramatically outperform the M1 Pro is the neural engine, but I don't think most people are running local LLMs on their MacBooks.
Despite its age, this is still a very capable machine with a solid 3+ years left in it at this point for most folks, and will still best many similarly (or higher) priced new Windows laptops in many regards - battery life/efficiency in particular. That's just how far ahead of their time the M1 & M1 Pro devices were when they launched (AMD & Intel were busy pushing power limits through the roof to compete with one another - which is an awful approach for mobile computing).
...and for those that are saying 'get an Air instead' - sure, that's an option... but these things have significantly better displays and audio, if that's an important factor.

This 16 inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro stands out for its mini LED display, strong speakers, and workstation cooling, making it especially appealing for media, editing, and desktop replacement use. The chip still feels fast for everyday work, with plenty of headroom for Parallels, VMs, Docker, and other heavier tasks, and the 16GB and 512GB configuration is viewed as practical for most users. The main concern is refurbished condition, especially battery cycles, cosmetic wear, and unknown internal wear. The return window and included Allstate warranty help reduce that risk, and the current price is widely framed as strong value if the battery is decent.
The 16-inch M1 Pro model offers a mini-LED display and improved speakers compared with MacBook Air models, which can improve media viewing.
The 16-inch chassis provides a better cooling system than fanless Air models, which can help avoid throttling during heavier workloads.
The Allstate 1-year warranty can act as a cost backstop if something goes wrong within the first year.
The deal includes 30-day returns with seller-paid return shipping, which reduces purchase risk for a refurbished MacBook Pro.
Refurbished condition leaves battery health and component wear uncertain, which can affect confidence in long-term reliability.
Battery cycle count can be a major risk factor because battery replacement may cost a large fraction of the refurb price.
Refurbished listings can vary by grade and may include mislabeled units or non-OEM chargers, so buyers may need to verify the exact model details carefully.
Battery replacement pricing can be higher than some expectations, with Apple battery-only service reported around $249.

I got my wife the 14 inch M1 Pro at same time for like 800, and I have zero regrets w my 16 inch. Granted she's a heavy girl, it's amazing how impressive the machine is.
I have zero desire to upgrade unless it pops smoke one day. I bet I get 10 more years, even if I got zero updates, I'm perfectly happy with the current software

Please provide an example of a mainstream/same thickness chassis with better speakers? The screen quality and overall materials are not found in this price range on Windows notebooks.
With these all-in-one-board computers, if it so much as develops a hangnail, it gets tossed into the rubbish bin -- or the repair bill is nearly as much as a replacement!
And the screen -- it's a laptop. You can't reuse that screen, no matter how good it might be. You CAN reuse external displays. Seems like the wrong thing to be dumping money into.

Every thread you just have to say some of the most fact free things ever. It's like a contest with how ignorant you sound. This is a well engineered set of speakers.
