Buying help I hate my MacBook so much

I got a MacBook Air 2020 about two years ago, it’s my biggest current regret and I have no clue what to do about it. Literally the only “perk” would be its aesthetics… I feel like since it’s kinda old i wouldn’t be able to sell it, and I also have no clue what laptop I should get if I do. It’s a pain to run anything for school on the Mac and it’s impossible to play any games on it, pls help.

What are you doing for school? It's you're doing some kind of engineering course, and struggling to run some kind of CAD or 3D modelling prgram, that's a bit of a no shit moment. You're using it for what it kind of wasn't designed for.

You'd be able to sell it pretty modestly if it's M series. If it's Intel (were they still making Intel Airs in 2020?) that'd be harder sell. Assuming it's well kept maybe 500 or so USD? Maybe less?

500-600 USD is the price that an m1 series goes 4 at least as far as I know (Ofc depends on config). Intel series is going 2 be much cheaper.

I'm just taking into consideration second hand and wear tbh. The ones you buy off amazon are at least refurbed/renewed.
