Refurb
You can’t really compare refurb to new. If you do, you might as well consider refurb Macbook Pros instead of the Macbook Neo too.
A new X1 Carbon is 1749 EUR starting price near me. The Neo is 719. A 5 year old X1 Carbon, refurbed, is 725. It’s not a bad laptop by any means, but it also has soldered RAM much like the Mac, so at 5 years of age it may not exactly be super reliable past the warranty which isn’t all that long for either case.

I’m sure Asahi support will be available soon. If these has 16gb of memory, I’d seriously consider it. Even with the global AI-fabricated RAM shortage, 8GB hasn’t been a reasonable foundation for over a decade.

Has Asahi matured? Last I heard there were still quite a few unsupported features like touch ID and displayport over usb c
