Should I get a Macbook Air M1 in 2024?

I will soon be in the need for a laptop for my upcoming university studies and for personal use, which includes somewhat light tasks, and I'm wondering about getting a Macbook Air M1, since many vendors sell this product used for 200-300 € cheaper than what it costs new. However, considering that the model is going to be four years old this year, I'm wondering if it's still worth getting over, for example, a newer model of some Windows laptop. Thank you!
