Honestly the best value is to buy a used or discounted M1 air. M2 on an air can throttle and the M1 base models even have a faster SSD.

- Teever 4y agoDamn straight. I just got a m1 air 8gb w/ 256gb for $975 CAD on FB marketplace in December. It was in absolute mint condition with 7 cycles on the battery and 1 year left on applecare (which apparently means i can renew it even as the second owner.) My take is that a lot of people got these wizzbang new laptops through some spending account for WFH during covid, they never left the house with them and now theyre selling them as they go back to the office.
- wildrhythms 4y agoI agree with this. I got the M1 Air as soon as it launched, it's insanely fast, there's no fan so there's no noise, and the battery goes for 15+ hours (granted I mostly just use the iTerm and a browser window).
