There's plenty of laptops today with the 5000 or 6000 series Ryzen chips and OLED or similar panels that will give these new MacBook Air a run for their money.

Imho, the M1 air at the 999 (and sale price of 8-850) was a good deal, but it's too hard to excuse 8/256 in a $1300 laptop.
Pretty much wrong on all counts. I *am* an IT person (over 30 years) who mostly uses/manages/sells Windows-based machines, but also have clients who are all Mac-based so I own Windows desktops, laptops and 2 MacBook Pro's (a 14" M1 Pro and a 16" M1 Pro) and had a M1 Mac Mini and yes, I do look at specs. You're shooting in the dark if you don't.

I will be completely honest in saying that while using my MacBook or Dell XPS laptop, I don't notice that one is any better (performance-wise) than the other. They run different OS's but the MacBook definitely isn't night/day better than the Dell or vice versa.

With regards to minimal RAM and swap to SSD, we'll see how the SSD wear is on that Mac SSD in a few years vs a system with 16/32GB RAM, where swap to disk is minimal. And while SSD is fast, RAM is magnitudes faster.

Having the flexibility to upgrade RAM or SSD is great. Buy small, pay less to upgrade yourself compared to giving Apple 10X more money for the same thing and having it fixed in there for life.
BE CAREFUL with this, because you're actually buying the $150 gift card as the total is deducted from the purchase price of the MacBook. So if you return the MacBook you don't get a refund for the gift card; you're stuck with it.

New reviews show m2 may have a thermal problem and could get very hot. Air does not come with fans...

16GB + 512GB(for a normal disk speed) would cost you 1479 before tax at edu store.
