M5 is faster for sure, I have both laptops and its significantly faster. GPU is faster too (not as powerful). Its a overall faster SOC (for daily office use/streaming video/external monitor)

having stated that the M1 Pro has fans and sustains its performance indefinitely.

M5 throttles after about 30 minutes when connected to external monitor streaming 1080p videos + office work.

Community Reviews

This 16 inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro is being framed as a strong refurb buy for a big screen, fast everyday performance, and excellent media quality. The mini LED display, loud speakers, MagSafe, and three Thunderbolt 4 USB C ports stand out, and it still handles creative work, development, video editing, and heavy multitasking well. The main cautions are weight, since it is a chunky laptop, and refurb condition, with battery health and cosmetic wear varying by unit. Long term macOS support and the soldered storage also matter, so it feels best for buyers who value power and screen quality over portability.

Common Questions (5)

  • Reported units vary widely, from around 42 cycles at 96% health to 61 cycles at 92%, 129 cycles, 180 cycles at 88%, and some much worse examples with 338 or 780 cycles. Battery condition is a key thing to check on arrival because it can differ a lot between refurb units.

  • 16GB is enough for most Mac users and everyday work, while 32GB is mainly useful for local AI, heavier multitasking, or more demanding creative workflows. If you know you need extra headroom, 32GB is the safer long-term choice; otherwise this 16GB model should still hold up well for a couple more years.

  • It is very heavy for a laptop and can feel uncomfortable on your lap. It is best suited to desk use or occasional travel rather than frequent commuting.

  • Expect roughly a few more years of macOS support, with security updates lasting longer than feature updates. Several comments place support ending around 2027-2028 for OS updates and around 2030-2031 for security updates.

  • No. The RAM and SSD are soldered to the board, so upgrades are not practical after purchase.

Those complaining about the age have probably never owned a macbook. My current macbook is 9 years old and still runs heavier apps fine. Its only 13", so I'm updating. Laptop hardware is not evolving THAT quickly.

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/best-free-mac-emulators-for-windows-pcOr you could use a commercial product like VMWare which is now free.https://www.techspot.com/download...ndows.html
The first URL there is AI slop; it's currently not possible to run modern ARM MacOS on your Lenovo LOQ laptop. You can emulate x86 MacOS (so the current MacOS, but no newer MacOSs) on an X86 emulator very, very slowly, and graphics will be so slow as to be useless, but X86 MacOS is dead.

Your second link is to X86 emulators (virtualization) for X86 Windows/Linux boxes, which has exactly the same problems as what I list above.

So, no, you can't run modern ARM MacOS on a PC. I'm not sure how you would run "newer apps" on your Lenovo.
Years ago (for laptops, integrated graphics last worked in the 2020-era 10th gen Intel models...) one could Hackintosh these machines fairly easily, but they're all completely obsolete in 2026, and a basic $500 Macbook Neo destroys them performance-wise.

It's the throwaway generation that are whining.

ITT: people arguing that the sticker price for an older model is too high and others saying that Apple products no longer retain value.

Quite the opposite. I'm here to say this is a bad deal because it's far too pricey for a MacBook that might only receive another couple years of updates, combined with only having 16GB of RAM. Other than the RAM being a low, I'm sure this is still a beast of a machine and one I'd be happy with for many years to come. But Apple wants you to throw away their systems every 7 years or so even if it's still absurdly fast and capable.
Hopefully systems with their own chips will end up being supported longer but I'm not risking it without the price being lower.

Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

This used reseller is trying to pawn off off-lease machines for far too much compared to newer options. But if you had one of these machines, you'll have a VERY hard time retaining any of the original value of the machine. For comparison, the Intel-era Macs before the M-series introduction retained a LARGE chunk of their value.

What's the play here? Buy used, locally. A bit higher risk, but if you can verify the machine is in good health and not locked, you're probably getting a better deal than anything on here.

Shouldn't be more than 330, given it will be obsolete on OS updates.
