M4 15" can be had for $1099. I would get the air
The only benefit I see with these Snapdragon (non x86) processor options is the massive battery life despite having oled screens. But in college I could plug in my laptop, so I didn't need that extra few hours of battery life.
I will use an external monitor with one single usb-c cable with this which seems capable, and I can't think of any benefit of thunderbolt for now.
- Touchpad is ok, not the best, gets confused with multi finger interactions, scrolling, not a huge deal.
- Window on ARM has camera or sound issues every now and then and requires a reboot
Printer drivers were a bit of pain but was eventually able to get all printers working.

Very happy with this laptop overall. I had tested it side-by-side with I7 258v (so 2x the ram) and I still chose the snapdragon. The fan on the ARM rarely turns on and rarely does the laptop get warm vs the 258v which I had the opposite experience. Intel's 258v was made by TSCM and probably Intel's best laptop chip at the moment too. Yes native software compatibility is potentially an issue for some if you go with ARM so I do recommend installing all your software right away to test. Everyday users should be fine though.
If you're a gamer, skip this laptop as it's still not great for gaming. All the ARM reviews state this.
