> you can buy an older model macbook Air and get the full experience at similar prices.

Not many countries allow tax return and expenses on used computers

Apparently you can buy an M1 Air for 599$ brand new: https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/13/macbook-air-with-m1-chi...

A very old article, and if you follow any of their links, they are sold out. So it's not so apparent after all

I don’t disagree, sure M1’s don’t grow somewhere and at some point will no longer exist as new but this is such a disappointing laptop. At least could have had a redeeming quality like being significantly lighter. It’s just worse in every aspect.

Is it a better deal? A18 Pro seems to be somewhat more capable than an M1.

Maybe but It has worse screen, worse battery and worse connectivity.

Walmart shows new as currently out of stock, they only have restored.
