I dunno if you are serious or not, but the XPS is a big step above the Air in performance.

Even with current M1 Macs, outside of the battery life, you have sub 2k laptops that blow the M1 out of the water

Not sure I’d call that “blowing out of the water”.

I think, for a light weight laptop I’d rather take the single core bump of the air over the marginal gain for multicore of the Asus. That’s just me though.

Geekbench 5:

Asus: 1218 sc, 8031 mc [1]

MacBook Air: 1726 sc, 7417 mc [2]
