I'd rather go for a Refurb M1 Air with 8/256 and TouchID which go for $300-350...

A refurb M1 air with 85% battery and in 'fair' condition goes for ~$400 these days - I have no idea how bad it would have to be for $300, but good luck. How many more years do you think that battery is going to realistically hold up?
Doesn't that M1 Air have a much, much slower CPU?

M1 Air single core is 2347 and multicore is 8342. Plus, the A18 pro chip in the Neo will likely perform better with the improved thermal environment.
