If the price difference between the M1 and M2 air is negligible for you, it would probably be best to go for the M2. The M1 uses the old Intel chassis. The M2 gets the new design which means a better screen, keyboard, speakers, webcam, MagSafe charging. It's well worth a little extra, even if you don't care about the spec bump. Lots of quality of life stuff.

thanks for the advice! i think i'll have an easier time getting a good deal on an M1 but i'll keep an eye out for good M2s
