I’d consider the same, so long as it also had mag safe or at least a 2nd usb port. family member had one with a failing usb port (data only, though it would still charge), and all apple could do was send it to depot for a board replacement. this of course wiped the drive… the issue at hand was that due to data not working, their time machine backup was nearly a year old… non techy, so they didn’t know or expect any of that, just signed off saying “yes, I have a backup”, not even thinking of how old. adding a 2nd port would significantly reduce strain on the one and only port available for the machines power and data.
You are describing the 12" Macbook, but with an M1 SOC in it.
If it wasn’t for the butterfly keyboard I would buy that.
