tech specs on the 2020 M1 MBA
https://support.apple.com/en-us/111883

Prices vary. Around $430 for 8GB memory 256 SSD
Worst buy lists one for $330, which sounds too low.

Problem is who to trust.
The cheapest Apple refurbished MBA is an M2 for $630, which is probably above your price range

Just putting this out there.
No advice, since I haven't bought a laptop in "forever" (like 2010)
