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.

I have a m3 max now too, honestly don't notice much difference on most tasks. But notice big difference on some things like audio editing and running VMs and docker etc.
More memory bandwidth, better GPU, actual cooling. Much better workstation.
It is weird. This is only the cut down GPU though.
Speakers and screen are top tier. If I needed a new battery I'd happily pay 200 tomorrrow and do it. I got mine from Microcenter, and was factory refurbished, but at 600 this is a hell of a deal
If equally be happy with that new 16 Mac air though. Or 15 inch or whatever it is. Parallels runs beautifully for all my games, and it's nice having the 16(gb ram it has no issues for anything I do.

Also, the idea someone else put forwards that the $2500 2021 16" Macbook Pro dropped in value to $400 is laughable.
Same. Amazing value at this price for a 16 MBP. (Old M1 chip blah blah)
Quality of posters (who try to act knowledgeable!) is going down. This is a seller with 54000 feedback 99.9% positive and offers free returns. Condition will be as stated, "Signs of wear do not affect the normal use/functions of the item. Does not come in its original packaging."
