I agree that it is a good machine - I've got one. But for those not
familiar with the "Air" part of MacBook Air it has only two USB-C ports.
The workaround is to get a multifunction dock that plugs into one of them.
I got one that had good reviews on Amazon and it has worked well for
everything asked of it, so far.

Hello All

It is a m1 processor, 8 gb ram and 256gb ssd. The screen works but has a strip 
on the right 5mm (1/4 inch) wide that is not working. Given the low spec and 
non upgradeability of the mac book air I don’t think I will spend the money to 
replace the screen. I will however use it to get an idea of how the macs work. 
I will probably also use it when traveling.
Thanks for the input.
Patrick

Boot it, then -> Apple-Menu -> About this Mac and let us know what it is.

Has it been inspected? Do you know for a fact it is the screen itself?

Why not just attach an external screen? A 13" screen is a bit claustrophobic.  
If you know Linux, the good news is that you can easily get to a bash prompt
