People definitely bought these, it's a good price.Primary concern here is that battery might not be great since it's a 5 year laptop at this point. Battery replacement cost from searching on internet is 250-300.. So if ends up being not great, your cost is now $450+300=$750.00New macbook air m4 can be bought for $850.. And will hold value longer. They are 70% faster than m1. So if you end up getting it, and batteries good than it's a solid deal but if the battery goes bad than it's not that great all of sudden.

Has anyone bought this deal before? The previous thread has zero comments on people who actually purchased it. What are the condition of these laptops?

The M1 MacBook Air was announced and made available for preorder on November 10, 2020, and then released for purchase on November 17, 2020. This model was the first to feature Apple's custom M1 chip, marking a major shift from Intel processors for Apple's Mac computers.

Better of getting something newer. These devices get 5-7 years of updates and this is already 5 years old

may sound cheap now but cost more in the long run... such as battery replacement, or components break down, Never know how much abuse from previous owner(s)

What kind of "searching" did you do to find $250-300 for the replacement cost?!?!

Just google "m1 macbook air battery" shows iFixit's guide as the top result to their replacement instructions that also has listings for both the battery only for $119.99 or the kit with tools for $129.99; both in stock ready to ship.

If you go to Apple's own repair site at: https://support.apple.com/mac/repair and fill out the info and choose: Battery > MacBook Air > MacBook Air M1, 2020 and click "get estimate" it shows $159 without AppleCare.

As someone else already mentioned there's tons of results for just the battery from $20-$50 if you are ok buying from a marketplace seller.
