Pretty good price.
The Apple price during their back to school sale is $849.
So $50 away from that is a decent price.
The Apple sale should be starting soon.

Why? Is there not much of a difference between M1 and M3 to justify extra cost?

It's a matter of opinion, right? I mean, some will pay any price for the next big thing. The difference is $200, or call it a 30 percent or so premium.

The m2 is a bit faster, perhaps 10 percent, and it has a marginally better, larger screen, and slightly less bezel. It has an explicit MagSafe port for charging, so essentially fees up a usbc port. Two become usable. MacOS support will last another year or two perhaps.

Aside from that it's pretty much the same.

I suggest ignoring the people who post about SSD speeds. Without a stopwatch nobody should care.

Great find!

Excellent price on an Apple product that can actually utilize MacOS & comes with a keyboard vs an Ipad with an M2/M4 in it that doesn't take advantage of the OS and then if you need a keyboard (for the ipad) need to spend extra on it!

It would work pretty well for a college student, but I would wait for the back to school sale as it will be even cheaper and will probably include a gift card.
