Maybe it's been as low as $330 for those garage sale "refurbished/used/heavily beat up" ebay listings, but if one reads the description, these are brand new (w/ damaged box) --- complete with full manufacturer's warranty and Applecare eligible.
Also, to the above poster, I didn't see any links to those places where it's "as low as" $330. That's ok, happens to all of us. The other week I sent an email saying "Please see attachment" and whoopsie, totally forgot the attachment!
Now, if you compared the relative value of an entry-level M1 Air to an entry-level M4 Air (which has gone on sale for ~$750-800 over the holiday season, msrp $1000)...I'd argue for the extra ~$400 (double the price), you're getting a machine with a far superior processor, marginally larger screen, and double the ram. Also, it's not going on 6 years old. (But I'm using a 16gb/1tb M1 Air right now, and it's held up splendidly under daily normal use.)
If you have a strict budget or want to get into the apple ecosystem on the cheap, it'd be hard to beat this for a low-risk entry point. It's a delightful, well-made ultrabook that's extremely inexpensive.
Mine arrived and it's not looking 'Excellent'. It's showing a purchase date of January 10, 2025 so coverage is expired and under battery health it says 'Service Recommended'. It seems like it was turned on at some point - there's a sticker on the box that says it was inspected - and then the battery drained and sat discharged for 13 months or so.
Received mine today via Walmart. Box was a bit beat up as described, cord had twist ties, but the unit itself looks mint. It only has 1 battery cycle and warranty shows as starting today and good for a year.
I had one of these a couple years ago and regretted trading it in even though I got most of my money back after using it for 3 years. I'll be holding on to this one!
Is this a troll? Windows is hated by everyone right now, and has caused a massive spike in Linux adoption.The VAST majority of people remotely competent in software/computing prefer Linux or Linux based like MacOS, which tells me all I need to know about your level of competency.
Calling MacOS Linux based tells us all we need to know about your level of competency
Those ultra-cheap ones at $330 have typically been EDU models with 128gb ssd and 8gb ram -- and let's just say, it's a 5+ year USED machine and kids aren't gentle.
They claimed they were "refurbished". Maybe with a spit shine....more spit than shine, I'd reckon.
This one here is virtually brand new (damaged box) with full manufacturer warranty and Applecare eligible.
Sure seems, based on the other comments, that you were talking out of your ass about these being "virtually brand new"?

That's what the listing said. If folks didn't get them in that condition, time to request a refund!
That's the risk of buying old stuff online from 3rd parties, instead of buying it in-person, brand new, from a first-party (re)seller. Welcome to online shopping in 2026.

My just arrived from FedEx
it is 4 degrees F outside here near NYC so I am going to wait a few hours so the computer and the battery can warm up to a reasonable temperature before I boot it up but here are some pictures of it.
The outside box (where I redacted the info) says: Transfer to FORTX, Apple MGN63LL/A [Grade A ] [Fully Functional] and S/N
Keyboard and trackpad looks clean (no oil, fingernail scratches) and seems prestine, screen looks fine (haven't really had any screen time)
addendum: just looked up serial #, and went to check warranty -- and Apple page says it's missing a date, and it is is allowing me to update it (to today's date), and I have a call with Apple in an hour or so to show them the order # so maybe I can get 1 year of warranty. Bear in mind I haven't boot it up yet!
Booted it up but haven't do the setup yet -- but the Apple logo allows me to look at the MacOS version. Says Tahoe 26.2.
I ordered it at the Walmart 348 (+ Tax) . My out the door cost is $368.92
Looks promising.
Still have to actually talk to the advisor about updating the purchase date, but when I set up the Mac, it said "Limited Warranty Expires Oct 21, 2026". and the Battery Cycle is 2. Battery capacity 100%
I have to think about see if I can go back to Big Sur (or maybe to Sonoma 14.8.3) that's where my M1 Max is at.

Received mine today. Came with macOS 13.6.6. Body and screen look brand new. Checked warranty, says it expires August 2026.
Main issue I have is, the battery is stuck at 1%, power settings say it's not being charged, and the battery health says "Service Recommended". Not sure what's going on here.
Just arrived. Cycle count 7, warranty until July 13, 2026. Physical condition a few light scratches on bottom. The rest is NEW condition. Overall happy with purchase.

Just got mine. Cycle count is 1. Warranty expires August 2026. Looks brand new except for some scuffs on the bottom where it had abrasion with the packed charger etc.
Seems pretty fast and nice... pretty good deal for $360 all in. Resell in a year or two for like 250 minimum?
