The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The M1 chip is genuinely fast for a laptop this size, with enough power for video editing, coding, and design work without slowing down on typical tasks.
- Storage is tight at 128GB. If you work with large files or keep a lot of apps installed, you'll feel the squeeze pretty quickly.
- This is a renewed unit, meaning it's been refurbished or returned, so it may show some wear and comes without the original box or accessories beyond a power adapter.
As of Aug 31, the Apple Late 2020 MacBook Air with Apple M1 Chip is overpriced at $469 — versus a $381.36 typical price and a $317 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
