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.

while having data local makes it faster to access, not "trusting" icloud to not lose your stuff is silly. with the amount of redundancy in their storage infrastructure, it would take a global catastrophe on the scale of world war 3 or an alien invasion for them to lose your stuff.
of course this is slickdeals and cloud storage does come with a subscription fee
You violate their terms of service -- they think you violated their terms of service -- they decided they don't want you as a customer anymore -- you used too much of their storage or put too much strain on their services? Bam, you lose access to ALL your data. Glitches also do happen where files/entire accounts go missing, though they are rare. And all of your stuff is indexable and searchable by any interested entity the storage provider cooperates with. Hope none of it was meant to be genuinely private.
It's slower to access online storage, and it may incur transmission charges depending on your access (such as via mobile cellular).
And you pay for cloud storage -- quite a bit more than for any hard drive. At any point, they can increase the cost, and like a capitalistic hairpiece, you have no choice but toupee.
Unless you have a clearly articulated need for online-based storage that's accessible from anywhere, relying on public cloud storage is usually a bad deal for the end customer. A GREAT deal for those running it. And this is coming from someone who's deployed & configured public, private, and hybrid clouds.
Look into buying a NAS for running your own private cloud -- QNAP is a good company to consider. Avoid Synology, they lock you into their expensive branded drives.
Only use public cloud storage's free tiers -- like Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. Use it for convenience access & high redundancy backups of non-private data -- like a thesis paper or resume. Or for storage of mundane things like a shared grocery list (Google Keep). Avoid providers that are locked down to be OS/platform-specific, like Apple's "I"-Cloud.

and building out a private storage/backup system is an option but not for everybody.
it ultimately boils down to the needs of the user, the vast majority are well served by something like icloud at a modest cost.
similarly the RAM debate. the majority of people do pretty basic tasks and limited multitasking and 8gb macbooks work well enough, given the peformace cost of swapping out to the storage drive (modern, low latency SSDs) is wildly lower than back in the days when swapping out to a mechanical hard drive.
How does this M1 compare to this refurb HP elitebook for $250

I know, comparing a Windows laptop with Apple is invitation for trolls, but let's say you are completely platform agnostic and just want to get a cheap laptop for basic use.
What are the pros and cons of the HP Elitebook vs the Apple M1?
