There are many internal and external differences between the 13.3-inch M1 MacBook Air and the newer 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch M2 MacBook Air models, but as an entry-level computer the M1 device should work great for common tasks, especially at this all-time low pricing.

i'm looking for a laptop for my daughter who's starting jr high this fall. i want to get her an apple product because it's safer online, easier for parents to monitor and don't come with windows bloatware. this MBA is going on 3 years old, i'm sure it's still way over the top spec-wise for a jr high kid, do you still think it's a good buy compare to the newest 13.6" MBA which is selling for $1000?
the MBA is an incredible product imo. It is still way ahead of the curve compared to previous Macs/Windows machines in terms of perf/battery life. Main problem with it for me is the lack of GPU power, but I don't know what the new MBA has for GPU prowess.

Depends on what she is going to use it for, but I have the M1 Air and I can't even begin to bog the machine down. It's just as fast and the day I bought it 2.5 years ago. It's so much faster than my 12th gen i7 work laptop, and much better battery life.

I don't do anything hardcore on it. No gaming, and the only video work I do is edit my 4k gopro footage.

Using mine right now. It's my normal home computer now - email, surfing, documents, etc. It works great and I think it's a steal. Great price point and performance to get into the Mac ecosystem.

It's discounted because it's almost three years old at this point. People are going to be disappointed when it stops getting MacOS upgrades in about three more years.
As long as it’s still being sold new at Apple Store that means longer support.

It doesn’t matter when it was released.

As long as she doesn't need a beefy GPU, she should be more than fine.
