Bought it used this February, base model. Face to face with seller, he had covers on the case monitor (glass protection for some reason), even charger. Removing the glass cover was stressful when it started breaking, but in the end I was left with laptop in nearly mint condition. It had 1 small scuff on the edge near trackpad and that was it. What worried me was battery health at 94%, but in real life the battery lasts so long I don't have to worry about it. Bought a dongle and external SSD. I use it to edit my 4k videos, do live stream, for remote work and gaming when I have time (Hades runs perfectly). I only miss magsafe, but other than than I couldn't be happier.

Found an M1 MacBook 256gb with apple warranty. 20 cycle 100% battery health for $650

I bought a m1/16/512 with 98% battery health, I think it was like 15 cycles and 1-year warranty from the seller since he bought them off a company with his own company avoiding taxes. I paid 620USD for it and the seller printed a written contract giving me the rights for the warranty. So basically I got a m1 decked out with the best specs and mint condition for, I checked and even a used m2 base model with slow SSD was easily 150USD more used and often in worse condition.

I will check SSD TBW via smartmontools, especially for base 8GB model and 256GB SSD. For example my 1yr old MBA M1, 16GB RAM is at 5TBW.. daily 8+hrs in use. My wife have 6 months old base 8GB version with very light use (few hrs per week) with 4TBW so there is visible some swap usage. My gaming PC is about 8TBW/yr. So anything less than 10TBW/year of age will be good for me. I bought MacMini M1 16/512, just 3 month old with mostly 20TBW, so previous owner was doing more SSD writes per month than I do per year :) So I will avoid to buy M1 used MBA M1 base model with more than ~100TBW

I got an M1 for $400 less than a new M2.

No. It‘s design is old now, 2018.

I‘ll buy the M2 Air instead, I don‘t really care about the slower SSD on the base model.

I’m still using my 2012 MacBook Pro 15 for web development. 11 year old laptop.

What should be the battery health and cycle count while considering a used MacBook M1? Like which ones would you avoid? I’ll be using it for like 3-4 years and then upgrade

Whats your opinion about macbook air m1 for video editing ?

Is it worth buying a 16gb ram 512ssd MacBook Air m1 with 130 battery cycles for $800? Or buying an 8gb ram 256ssd with 24 battery cycles for around $700?
