Prices start at $849 for the 8GB 13-inch model, a saving of $150 on the cost of a brand new model, whilst you can save up to $190 on the $1,249 price tag of the 16GB model, making it just $1,059.
It comes just a couple of days after Apple released its M1 MacBook Pro to its refurbished store. From that report:

Apple's refurbished products come "like-new" with genuine Apple replacement parts as needed. The products are cleaned and inspected, and ship with a new battery and outer shell, as well as all the necessary accessories and cables in a brand new box. Side by side, there's basically no telling the difference, and given how good the M1 MacBook Air is, a refurbished option is pretty much a no-brainer.
Apple's newest MacBook Air is silent but deadly, a potent combination of class design and a new, ultra-fast M1 SoC.
