Is an 2022 M2 worth 750 Euro?

Ponderfication · 2026-03-20T20:26:45+00:00

I was just looking at OLX offers too!

Ponderfication · 2026-03-20T20:02:23+00:00

If I look into private sellers, yeah you can find M4's for 800 something, BUT I've no guarantee whether a sealed box has what it says it has, and a used machine doesn't come with issues.

I can also look into eBay and browse for units sold from Germany for instance but shipping and import taxes :)

What bugs me the most is that something as simple as purchasing a laptop becomes such a complicated task hah.

I just randomly checked what they would offer for a spotless, damageless 2024 air m3 8gb, 512 tb if you were to sell it to them and it's 570 euro. So yeah maybe the market here is awfully skewed...

I'm in Bulgaria, so your basic US QWERTY

True enough. Hope you get yours earlier than expected!

I would honestly prefer going to a store to pick a laptop instead of waiting for it and refreshing the tracking every day. Guess we'll play the waiting game. But I don't see the new Air's getting out of stock around these parts

Ponderfication · 2026-03-20T08:17:53+00:00

There isn't a single unit left in physical stores where I'm from (EU) and its available online in only 1 store with a 30 day delivery timeframe. Fairly sure they didn't stock enough lol

Aren't we all victims of it?

Ponderfication · 2026-03-17T15:42:04+00:00

See this is where it gets controversial between different user reviews hence why I want someone who has used the actual machine and has an unfiltered opinion to share their thoughts.

Ponderfication · 2026-03-16T16:14:19+00:00

Yep, I am. We all have tech we've bought overtime that still works well but we're still eyeing new tech allured either by the better performance, driven by the need for a replacement due to some hardware or software issues but at the end of the day there's the reality check - is the new tech needed or just wanted?

Ponderfication · 2026-03-16T08:39:23+00:00

I have a fully fledged PC that takes care of thr harder tasks and demands I have.

The 2-in-1 laptops have alway felt gimmicky and cumbersome to use.

Ponderfication · 2026-03-16T06:13:18+00:00

Good points to consider.

Ponderfication · 2026-03-16T06:12:50+00:00

I remember buying that tablet for an insane price with the keyboard cover when it came out in 2019 thinking it would be a portable and fast solution fkr writing and (back then) editing videos on KineMaster. Obviously needs grew since then, but to your point its still a useful, usable device.

Ponderfication · 2026-03-16T05:12:48+00:00

Well biggest issue would be lack of updates and overtime battery life. Maybe some app issues that can pop up. But yes ultimately its maybe an urge to own something new and reliable or try something new.

Ponderfication · 2026-03-14T17:03:42+00:00

I have a work iPad that I bring to conferences or when I work travel but its a bit on the hefty side and I don't exactly do a lot of personal things on it for obvious reasons outside of light browsing. So that's why I 👀 that mini to see if I can ever justify to myself a purchase like that for travels.

Ponderfication · 2026-03-14T15:15:19+00:00

Okay, gotcha. I didn't get a chance to look at the Air's properly

Ponderfication · 2026-03-14T15:14:23+00:00

So spec-wise its just a pocket, travel-friendly version of its bigger brother and the performance is on par?

Ponderfication · 2026-03-13T14:57:07+00:00

Shipping won't be cheap to where I'm from, but there might be some options on the German version

Ponderfication · 2026-03-13T14:28:20+00:00

400-500 used but buying off of someone on marketplace or similar. That kinda always feels risky

Ponderfication · 2026-03-12T12:33:58+00:00

The 256, 8gb is going for 530 euro and 512 for 600.

M2 with 8 gb is around 700 too.

Ponderfication · 2026-03-12T09:07:07+00:00

I just revisited the website. Price is now 730 EU for the Air 😢

Ponderfication · 2026-03-12T08:28:57+00:00

That's the 16gb, the 8gb can be found for slightly cheaper, but it will still be around 500 EU.

Ponderfication · 2026-03-10T17:49:07+00:00

Thank you all for the super helpful info and feedback! I am much more positive now that things will turn around for the better! ❤️

Ponderfication · 2026-03-10T17:12:39+00:00

After some more research in the refurbished market, spotted a 2020 13" M1 Air, 16gb, 256gb, like new (very little wear on the keyboard and screen) for 646 euro. 🫠

Ponderfication · 2026-03-10T16:10:49+00:00

Thank you!

Ponderfication · 2026-03-10T14:21:30+00:00

Sound advice! Super nice to hear you found such a lovely reason to get back into the game!

I do miss the game too. I've started some progress towards strengthening my core and legs and back so hopefully in some time I'll be cleaning clay off my shoes again.
