First time poster, please go on me.
Seems like a pretty good deal for the base 14" 8-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU M1 Pro. It is JB HIFI Renewed Stock - if anyone's had experience with Renewed put it in the comments below.
There's Also 16-Core GPU with 1TB SSD for $2429 as well: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-macbook-pro-14-inch…
xoxo.
Update: Silver's sold out
UPDATE: Renewed = Used. This could mean you get someone's trade in. Let's hope there's some rigor in JB's "Quality Control Process"
what a deal
are you a virgin @jv
We call that. Stacks on.
Wrong forum OP
Op's DM is full
Hm doesn't seem to be Apple refurbished but is done by JB's. Still a great price though, I think they're asking for around $2k on eBay for second hand units.
Yeah - i'm hoping these don't have high cycle counts either. I've ordered one so will let y'all know if it's reliable.
Good luck
It's called "renewed" which sounds like a cunning way to avoid the rules re refurbished products.
So, like the OP requested - does anyone have an idea what "renewed" may mean?
Description on JB Product Listing
^What is "Renewed Stock"?
“This device is pre-owned and has been through a quality control process. You may see some cosmetic blemishes and slight scratches”.
Renewed stock will be sent in generic, non-branded packaging, with a power cable included.
Hopefully it's a genuine Apple mag-safe PSU. I'd want to confirm this before buying.
what rules re refurbished products and how it differs to renew?
Renewed = used
So like pre-loved
just love the wordplay
Same as Second-hand…
Yeah but second hand or used sounds abused or mistreated.
Pre-loved sounds like it was taken care of.
@xoom: if someone used it to watch porn
there will be lots of post-love on the laptop.
better bring a UV/Blacklight before accepting the laptop
More like gently loved
Added it to the description
just ordered one, let's see if it's any good
Just some dude casually dropping 2K.
I wish I had a casual 2k to drop in these economic times. Sigh.
actually being eyeing this for a while… I sold my windows laptop and have be0en without a portable laptop for quite some time
Just jesting brah. :)
How M1 pro performance compare to M2 tho?
Google it and let us know!
M2 Ultra > M2 Pro , M1 Ultra > M1 Pro > M2 > M1
Would this be: M2 Ultra > M1 Ultra > M2 Pro > M1 Pro > M2 > M1
If you are after the 10 core version I would recommend just price matching this deal at Officeworks and picking up a new one for ~$100 more (or save even more if you have discounted Officeworks gift cards from the recent ultimate gift card deals)
Do you mean $667.16 more?
It’s $667.16 more than the 8 core version. The one I’ve linked is the 10 core version.
OP mentioned this in their description:
There's Also 16-Core GPU with 1TB SSD for $2429 as well: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-macbook-pro-14-inch…
Still gutted I didn't get that mwave deal the other day…
Oh mate, i check everyday hoping it will come back. (I did the same with my ex and she never did)
Me too. 64GB and 2/4TB may never come that peice again. I should have dipped into savings.
You can still get it: but not as much of a deal anymore😂

I bet this person bought it on Mwave and is now in buyers remorese!
You could of course get the Apple Refurbished version

This model currently goes for $2,299 for an apple refurb, which I would consider basically new, I'm pretty sure they come with the same warranty as a new one.
over $400 cheaper for this JB used version… I guess that's a pretty decent deal
I bought an Apple refurbished 14" M1 Pro and it was spotless. Not a mark on it, not even the rubber feet. New power brick, new cable. The only thing different is the box it came in - white box rather than a printed one with a pic of a Macbook on it. Added the 3 year Applecare+ so for peace of mind and knowing I can return it, the extra costs over the JBHifi deal is worth it.
That said, I wished I went for the 16" but it was $600 more and couldn't justify the extra cost.
Re news means
Used plain and simple.
Oops! We can't find the page you're looking for….
Gooonnee. Party over.
try this one: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-macbook-pro-14-inch…
If it works for you i'll update it in the post
edit: looks like silver is sold out
That one looks like it works. 👌
thanks mate! updated.
is it sold out now
Got this exact model. Bought it new and it hasn't missed a beat. Absolute weapon of a machine.
Ah dam! missed out - going to look for one on FB marketplace i guess
Just got mine with a huge dent on the back of the screen, I mean WTF, I though it's "some cosmetic blemishes and slight scratches"
That's messed up. Nearly 2k computer and with a screen just waiting to fail any day. It's nowhere near described so you should be eligible to return it.
guess so much for "renewed" products from JB-HiFi, silver lining is they did accept the return in this case, just regret paying for shipping
