This deal seems pretty much insane. If you look at the seller's feedback people are getting apple sealed refurb units.
$1369 for a max'd out macbook air m2. Apple on their refurb site has the same machine for $2089.... new is $2400

""This device has been certified by our industry-leading mobile diagnostic software to be 100% fully functional. It is in EXCELLENT cosmetic condition showing no signs of use. A generic wall charger is included. Original packaging is NOT included, comes in a white or brown box. HG1:"
And under warranty, seems to be thru Allstate:
"WARRANTY one year.
Protected with fast repair or replacements. U.S. residents Only. Your email Is shared with Allstate for a frictionless experience."
This could just be the generic copy and paste elements they use for all their listings, as others above have stated they received a genuine apple refurbished product.
But if you do get one as described, not in Apple packaging with apple charger, and decide to keep, first thing I would do is check serial with Apple, get a genuine apple charger, and make sure 3rd party Allstate warranty is registered.
Because the MacBook is TWICE as fast as the PC you posted in multi and 62% faster in single threaded tasks.
The one you mention is several years old with a mediocre screen - and would be perfectly fine for a lot of people. The review leans on the fact it's several years old and discounted and specifically mentions how bad the trackpad and clicking is on it.
So try with a better PC - you could probably find one comparable and still 50% of the MacBook to prove your point. But this PC ain't it.
That comment was half kidding, just to ridicule OP's obnoxious attitude. Of course I didn't mean to compare these two laptops -- there is no comparison here.
(I don't buy that battery argument -- this reviewer got 7.5 hours of battery life which is close enough -- much better than some manufacturers that claim ~18 hours on 5 hours of real use. I have used M-series macbooks, and I never got that 18 hours in my personal workflow, should I claim that number is false? Be careful there.)
