There is also the thing about you know... things not ending up in landfill. Price/performance/quality wise nothing beats cheapest Macbook Air. But that machine is designed in a way that its 100% that in few years it will die and it cannot be repaired. By soldering SSD and RAM you are on ticking clock. Especially the 8gig ram version will swap depleting your SSD cycles. I own cheapest macbook air M1 - i think it's the peak laptop "THE STANDARD", its great. But all the ways it's designed to be unrepairable. It's so clear case of planned obsolescence... it should be criminalized.
