This seems like it could be a better deal than MB Air. Would there be a significant difference from a purely performance standpoint?
I'm seeing 1 available listed as "New in stock". is there a chance this is actually new-old stock and not Refurb?

This is Micro Center refurbished, not Apple refurbished. So most likely used

If you can wait, I'd say wait 3-6 months and see what happens when it's released on Macs. You'll either see a huge reason to get that, or there will be a lot of people selling M1-M3 stuff and trying to clear stock.

But I don't think Apple will limit to just M3 and M4. Google did limit their in-phone AI to the new flagship Pixel 8 and above but that would alienate way too many Apple users if Apple made it M3 and up since New Air is M2 based and ton of people are still on M1 and M2.
The NeuroEngine on M1 is said to be 3x slower than M4 (38 TOPS) while M1 was 11 TOPS. Should be good enough. A lot of AI work (especially LLM) is still GPU driven on the METAL API today and you can have a very capable M1 Max with high GPU count also.
Maybe Apple will actually use the NeuroEngine wiith their local LLM models though.

I mean, we are talking Apple here. They will do absolutely anything to make the new feature exclusive to as few devices as possible.
Just look at Apple Pencil pro compatibility.
Unless something has changed in the past 4 months, these are Apple refurbs. My open box refurb from Microcenter was an Apple refurbished device and Apple updated the purchase date and I got the full warranty.

Oh damn it is good point about the Apple Pen Pro.... that was a lame and annoying thing to do. Same for the new Magic Keyboard. At least make it so you can use the existing magic keyboard!!!???
