My M1 Air display just failed on me after 5 and half years of daily 10-16 hours of use. Considered how non repairable some parts in MacBooks are I'd rather recommend people buy more expensive new one. E.g you can find very good offers on new M2 M3 etc.
I'm in no way Apple fan, but M5 air with 512GB SSD and 32GB RAM costs $1500. Compared to M1 and 256GB and 16GB at $1200.
Adjusted for inflation it pretty much the same.
A refurbished M1 16GB RAM 256GB storage MacBook Air sells for $400 right now.

Sure.
Used M1 Airs are selling for roughly half the price of a new Neo.
