**SOLD**

Selling my 14" MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro CPU, 16GB RAM, and 1TB storage. This is the upgraded version with the 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU and 96W charger.

Full specs are here: https://support.apple.com/en-nz/102312

Battery health is at 87% and the general condition is great - no scratches on the screen and everything looks and feels new.

Performance is still great for general productivity tasks, web development, Docker, VMs, etc. It has never felt slow.

I'm only selling this because I want to run Linux full time instead of macOS. Otherwise, this laptop feels like it easily has a few good years of life left.

Looking for $1,250, which feels reasonable based on similar Trade Me listings. Comes with the original box, 96W charger, and two MagSafe cables.

Pick up from Wellington CBD or from my home in Strathmore Park. Or happy to arrange shipping if the buyer is willing to pay.

Hi there - can I ask what you are replacing this with? I want to go all in on Linux too and am finding it hard to find a comparable laptop (good touchpad and battery life) to a Mac.

Keeping an eye on the Black Friday sales, but will probably switch back to Lenovo. I like the look of the Yoga Pro 7 or 7i.

A bit off topic. But as someone who is all-in on Linux, you will not find anything with a comparable battery life. Touch-pad is subjective.

I agree about the battery life. People do seem pretty unanimous though that the Mac capacitive touchpad with the glass surface is superior to everything else. I would just like something 80% as usable. Been looking at a T14.
