Doesn't seem like a good idea in 2025, an M4 (not Pro) processor will outperform an M1 Pro in most tasks. Plus, we have to assume that Apple is ending support for these M1 processors in 1-2 years. They might go a little longer than we expect, but I wouldn't bet on it.

As someone still very happy with an M1 Air, I can see the appeal in this deal. But, if you're trying to spend under $800 for the best Mac you can get, you're probably better off with an M4 Air which has had a bunch of sales down to $750. The base M4 crushes the M1 Pro in single core performance, and even beats it out in multi-core. Of course there are screen, speaker, and IO benefits to the Pro chassis, but to speak generally I stand by my statement M4 Air is better than M1 Pro

Just buy a new M4 air 13 for $750, agreed. Better at most tasks, and waaaay lighter. Worth the extra $. This is a deal at $500 or below.

Now if this had a 32GB configuration, that might make it a good deal in addition to the sound and screen.

This needs to be under $500 with tax for it to be a deal.

this isnt windows... they will support these processors way past 1-2 years from now. M4 to M1 pro chip isnt as huge of a leap as it was intel to m1. M4 in the macbook air does run at a higher clock speed initially but it does get much hotter very quickly and will slow down considerably (like ~1/2 initial speed) having no fans. Also the m1 pro has higher memory bandwidth speeds. For anyone doing sustained professional workloads, I would much rather have the m1 pro over the macbook air m4.
If you are just using a laptop to browse the internet, the m4 macbook air 100% makes way more sense, but you wont notice any speed difference between the 2 with most basic tasks
