It's really hard to argue in favor of the macbook air tbh. I bought one because I wanted one. I don't want a gaming laptop because I have a desktop that offers a far, far better gaming experience anyway.
I wouldn't recommend the 8gb ram macbook airs for one's only computer. As a second like mine? Sure!

If not I would go with the this air, the 16GB and 1TB storage will serve you better. The air is still plenty fast and can still handle a lot just fine- photoshop, regular editing, etc.
If you really need more power I would keep an eye out for a Pro deal that has 16GB vs a base M3 with only 8, like this recent post:

Or keep an eye out for M3 Pro 18GB deals, though lowest price I've seen is $1799 so far.

A 15" Air gives people access to a larger screen without having to pay for a 16" MBP.
The Zenbook 4 would be much better off for general and enterprise use, such as financial modeling in Excel.
Apple tax to upgrade storage and RAM comes at a significant premium, but it's deals like these that help reduce some of that premium on a purchase directly from Apple.
I have the Zenbook 14X OLED from a $700 tax free Best Buy deal last year with a 13th gen i7, 16/512, 120Hz OLED. Works well, but battery life is like 6-8 hrs.
I use Mac for video editing and Windows for data visualization.

Either way I'd be tempted to wait for the M3 version unless the need is urgent. The base M3 is quite a healthy upgrade over the M2.
