This M1 8gb won't be good for AI or heavy workloads, but is more than enough power for the average internet based user. At this price point, they only have premium chromebooks or crappy Windows laptops. I'd take my M1 8gb over any other if this was my price cap or giving it to a basic user.

I actually prefer the form of the M1 to the M4, which feels more boxy to hold in the hand (even though on paper, it's lighter and thinner).
I will also note that bestbuy is still offering a $300 trade-in on the M1, so to buy this at $400 seems like a pretty good deal.

you can debate with yourself all you want tho
windows you gotta leave it on for a month straight before it even fills up the standby memory
But, I would say this deal is pretty good for most people.

Here's a pro-tip for life: communicate.
You need to have a conversation with your goblin offspring once in a while. Find out what they like. What they need. What the school suggests they get. But to give them a nearly 5 year old garage sale used Mac with underperforming specs -- that would be insulting. And even worse if their college is Windows institution.
Invest in your child's future through their education. But if you're just first realizing this as you're shipping them off to college, I fear it might be too little, too late.

Direct from Apple refurb? Probably going to be fine. Refurb from anyone else? Garage sale item with a spit-shine....maybe more spit than shine.
And you're arguing against communicating with your offspring and their school to find out the right tool they need? Please be serious.
