MacBook Pro M2 8/256 for 120 USD

Fellow Redditors,

I need your help to help me decide whether I should consider getting a Macbook Pro M2 8/256 with display + touch bar issue for 120 USD.

I was thinking of either replacing the display which I think costs around 300-400 USD where I live or using it as a headless Macbook connecting it to my 43" inch 1080p TV.

Few reasons why I was leaning towards this offer,

° I've never used macs before

° I think this is a win-win offer and I don't want to miss out on it. Buying any good condition used macs or new is way out of my budget.

° I was thinking of using it to watch movies / YouTube on it by using my TV as an external monitor

I want to know what can I do to test it before buying?

Do you think it could be a motherboard issue and it is NOT a good idea to pursue this deal?

If I do get this, is it a good idea to connect it to my TV? Can I watch movies / YouTube on it?

Or do I really need to buy a 2K external monitor for it?

I'm basically clueless. Help me out
