About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Brand New and high spec M1 Max MacBook Pro.
Same price as the lower spec versions.
A newer version of the M2 Max in this Spec would be north of £5000 so seems almost too good to be true.
Edit: Just received the device. Came brand new, sealed and in pristine condition as expected. Battery health 100%.
Laptops direct were pretty decent. The device was classed as a ‘high value item’ so they rang a few times with updates and were very communicative.

Details
MacBook Pro delivers groundbreaking processing, graphics, and machine learning (ML) performance whether running on battery or plugged in, as well as amazing battery life - enabling workflows previously unimaginable on a notebook. It also features a stunning Liquid Retina R display, a wide range of ports for advanced connectivity, a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, and great audio system. Shattering the limits of what a notebook can do, MacBook Pro is designed for developers, photographers, filmmakers, 3D artists, scientists, music producers, and anyone who wants a powerful notebook.
Scary faster
M1 Max delivers two times faster graphics processing and double the memory bandwidth of M1 Pro. And it has a dedicated media engine for decode and two for encode - with up to two times faster video encoding - and two ProRes accelerators for even higher multistream performance.
You can do this all day
Ferocious performance with game-changing battery life - that efficiency is the magic of Apple silicon. MacBook Pro delivers the same amazing performance whether it's plugged in or not.
The coolest part
Advanced thermal systems move 50 percent more air, even at lower fan speeds. And thanks to the efficiency of Apple silicon, the fans never turn on for many tasks you do every day.
Liquid Retina R
It features Extreme Dynamic Range and a million to one contrast ratio. HDR content comes to life in photos, video, and games - with refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true-to-life colors. Each display is factory calibrated and features pro reference modes for HDR color grading, photography, design, and print production.
ProMotion
ProMotion comes to Mac for the first time, making everything from scrolling through a web page to gaming super fluid and responsive - while also reducing power consumption. With refresh rates of up to 120Hz, the adaptive technology automatically adjusts to match the movement of the content. ProMotion video editors can also choose a fixed refresh rate that precisely aligns with their footage.
Heads up - the camera's 1080p HD
Staying connected is more important than ever. That's why the MacBook Pro camera has double the resolution - 1080p - and uses a lens with a wider aperture that lets in more light. Together with a larger image sensor that has more efficient pixels, the camera delivers two times better low-light performance.
Three studio-quality mics
Thanks to mics with an up to 60 percent lower noise floor, MacBook Pro can capture even the subtlest sounds. And the three-mic array uses directional beamforming so your voice always comes through loud and clear.
Six-speaker sound system
Four force-canceling woofers reveal notes up to a half-octave deeper and fill the room with up to 80 percent more bass. And the high-performance tweeters project clearer, fuller vocals.
Spatial audio
Thanks to the room-filling six-speaker system and advanced algorithms, MacBook Pro supports spatial audio when playing music or video with Dolby Atmos, creating a sophisticated, three-dimensional soundstage. Combine that with the Liquid Retina R display, and it's like having a portable theater.
More plugged in than ever
Transfer photos and videos with an SDXC card reader. Connect to TVs or displays with HDMI output. Listen using a 3.5 mm headphone jack that detects and automatically adjusts for high-impedance headphones. Connect to high-speed peripherals or displays with three Thunderbolt 4 ports. And fast-charge using the quick-releasing MagSafe 3 port.
More pixels than ever
Connect up to three Pro Display Rs and a 4K TV with M1 Max. Or connect up to two Pro Display Rs with M1 Pro.
Pro power meets pro keyboard
For the first time, Magic Keyboard brings a full-height function key row to MacBook Pro - with the tactile feel of mechanical keys that pros love. It includes keyboard shortcuts for Spotlight, Siri, Dictation, and Do Not Disturb. And Touch ID has a tactile ring that guides your finger for a fast, easy, secure way to unlock your Mac.

Did anyone face such kind of things?
I’ve purchased the device and it’s supposed to be arriving today so will report back with an edit after I get it.
I currently have an M1 Max 32Gb 1TB which ploughs through 4k HDR in Final Cut Pro - but eats hard drive. Trying to use external storage for video editing is much slower and makes you realise just how incredibly fast the onboard storage is on these. (edited)
Check eBay completed listings for 2019/2020 Macbook pros with 2-4TB SSDs to see some selling around £1500 - their original RRP was similar and these are pre-Apple silicon (not ruling out another revolutionary upgrade, but the switch to M1 seemed a once in a decade level event).
Had I bought it at Apple prices I would have lost money.
My second Macbook Pro cost me £2000 brand new. Around £400 less than the Apple price. It is absolutly pristine condition with the box in brand new condition. I put it on Ebay for just under £700.00 and no one made a bid. So I have no idea what it will go for, but it will be a hefty loss.
To all intents and purpose, both laptops/box packaging could have passed as brand new.
So no, from my experience, Apple do not hold their price, and as you see from my first laptop, are not that reliable. It is the only laptop in 20 years that failed me.
However at the moment it seems it is the only laptop that will do the job I need, so I will have to buy another.
Roll on when Windows laptops have silicon, and competition kicks in. (edited)
Apple must be laughing so hard (edited)

Thx HKUD for last year deal
Thanks for posting , ordered mine.
Asked for a refund.
There are two M1 Max variants, one with a 24-core GPU and one with a 32-core GPU. The 32-core option is the high-end option available in higher-end machines, while the 24-core GPU is exclusively available as a build-to-order option.
With this being retail I am expecting 32 cores.
[edit] I was beaten to it (edited)
I got M1 Max 32 Core 32 GB 1 TB The only thing i always need is extra storage so instead of 1 TB would like 2 or 4 TB
