I know you said your budget is $800 but the 13” M5 MacBook Air is $949 on Amazon right now. It should last you 10 years.
Are you paint tax on top of that? If so, I’d say it’s a very bad deal. You can get a similar spec’d M5 for $949 on Amazon.
It's $949 on Amazon and Costco. Was even $899 until 2 weeks ago. That’s what pushed me to try the Air. Neo unfortunately never goes on discount (though it can be argued it doesn’t need to. It’s super good already)
If you want to attempt to isolate the display difference, surely you'd at least compare 512 vs 512? $699 vs $949 (was even $899 till a week ago, and will go down to it again as always).
M5 MacBook Air is $949 right now with 512 GB SSD which is significantly faster. Prime day is coming in 2 weeks. Our system predicts that price of MacBook will drop to $879-$899. Is refurbished M4 worth saving $50? For last gen M5? Amazon link: https://a.co/d/021SZj0c
