What is a refurbished device?
A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.
Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

The MacBook Pro 16" with Apple M1 Max delivers a 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 32GB unified memory, and 1TB SSD in a 16.2" Liquid Retina XDR chassis — the most powerful MacBook Pro ever built at launch. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
The M1 Max is purpose-built for creative professionals. In Final Cut Pro, it exports 8K ProRes footage in real time without dropping frames — a task that required external GPUs or render farms on previous Intel machines. DaVinci Resolve, Logic Pro, and Xcode all run noticeably faster than on competing Intel or even AMD Ryzen laptops, largely because the M1 Max's unified memory eliminates the latency of data passing between CPU and discrete GPU.
For developers, the performance advantage is equally real. Xcode builds complete 2–3× faster than on M1 MacBook Pros, and Rosetta 2 ensures virtually all legacy Intel apps run without issue. The 32-core GPU handles Metal workloads — game development, 3D modelling in Blender, scientific visualisation — that would stutter on Intel Iris Xe or AMD integrated graphics. Parallels Desktop users get surprisingly capable virtualisation thanks to the memory bandwidth, though note that the ARM edition of the guest OS runs rather than x86.
Battery life in this configuration genuinely lives up to Apple's claims. Running a mixed workload of Final Cut exports, browser tabs, and Slack, you'll see 14–18 hours. Under sustained GPU load (3D renders, video encoding) it drops to 6–8 hours — still exceptional for a 16" machine. The MagSafe 3 port means the three Thunderbolt 4 ports stay free for peripherals while charging.
| Chip | Apple M1 Max (5nm), 10-core CPU (8P + 2E), 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine |

| Best For ✓ | Not Ideal For ✗ |
|---|---|
| Video editors, motion designers, and 3D artists who need sustained GPU performance | Windows users — macOS is not Windows; the transition requires adjustment |
| Audio engineers and music producers (Logic Pro, Ableton, Pro Tools) | x86/x64-only enterprise software without ARM/Rosetta compatibility |
| iOS/macOS developers who need fast Xcode builds and a native ARM target | Gamers — most AAA games are unavailable on macOS natively |
| Photographers working with large RAW files in Lightroom or Capture One | Users who need RAM upgradeable beyond 32GB (memory is soldered) |
| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| A – Excellent | Minimal cosmetic wear — may have light surface marks visible only under close inspection. Battery health ≥70% (check via Apple menu → System Information → Power). Fully functional. |
| B – Good | Light cosmetic wear including minor scratches or scuffs. Battery health 50–70% (30-day battery warranty applies). Fully functional. |
How does M1 Max compare to the M1 Pro?
The M1 Max doubles the GPU core count (32 vs 16) and memory bandwidth (400 GB/s vs 200 GB/s) compared to the M1 Pro. In GPU-heavy tasks like 3D rendering, ProRes video export, and machine learning, the M1 Max is roughly 2x faster. For CPU-only tasks the difference is minimal. If your work is GPU-intensive — video, motion, 3D, ML — the Max is worth it; for general coding or document work the Pro is sufficient.
Can this run Windows?
Yes, via Parallels Desktop (paid software). Parallels runs Windows for ARM natively on Apple Silicon with good performance for most business and development use. Note that x86-only software may not run under ARM Windows, though Microsoft's built-in x86 emulation layer covers many common apps. Boot Camp is not available on M-series Macs.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
No — both the 32GB unified memory and 1TB SSD are soldered to the logic board and cannot be upgraded after purchase. The 32GB/1TB configuration is well-suited to most professional workloads.
How do I check battery health on macOS?
Go to Apple menu → System Information → Power. You'll see the current battery condition, cycle count, and maximum capacity. Grade A units will show 70%+ maximum capacity; Grade B units will show 50–70%, covered by a 30-day battery warranty.
What warranty is included?
Every unit comes with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty covering hardware faults. Grade B units also carry a separate 30-day battery warranty. Contact our Melbourne team if you experience any issues during the warranty period.
How does shipping work?
We offer free standard shipping Australia-wide on this laptop. Express options are available at checkout for faster delivery.
What is the difference between Grade A – Excellent and Grade B – Good?
Grade A units show minimal cosmetic wear and battery health of 70% or above. Grade B units may have light scratches or scuffs with battery health between 50–70%, covered by a 30-day battery warranty. Both grades are fully functional and backed by the 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Every MacBook Pro 16" sold by Reboot IT comes with a full 12-month warranty against hardware faults. Our Melbourne-based team has been professionally refurbishing and selling quality IT equipment since 2001, and every unit is thoroughly tested and graded before dispatch.
This laptop ships with free standard Australia-wide delivery. If anything goes wrong under warranty, contact us at reboot-it.com.au — we'll sort it out promptly.

Good value and great quality
Fantastic service
I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!
Great service. Product in great condition and exactly what i want. I wanted this for a specific purpose but i dont need to spend $900 on a new one.
Excellent work
exactly as described and works well , just like the staff down there. 10/10
Very happy, thank you
Just having trouble greeting it linked to the internet otherwise it’s okay.
Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.
The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
