Title could use a small edit. 356 GB storage is "interesting" 🤣

That's good. 8gb ram is atrocious in 2025. You can practically only use it for casual browsing/streaming. Might as well get an ipad.

I got my 15" Air M3 16GB RAM in Starlight open-boxed from Best Buy for $650 that looked 99% brand new 2 months ago - I think it was rated only "Good" condition and not "Excellent" because the box was extremely dirty. It only had 3 charge cycles on it according to Mac-OS.

8gb is very useable even for some dev work. But still, don't buy this.

Don't buy this....even if the price is low. You don't want 8gb of ram now that they are adding AI into the OS, that sucks up memory. Spend the 799 and get 16gb of ram with the M4 ( see other slickdeals).

I've still got the 8gb m1 and browse, stream, edit docs, video conference, minor photo edit with affinity, no perceptible lag/swap whatsoever. Blazing fast. This is my reality every single day.
