I spent $1700 or so on my M1 Air not too long after they were released. A ThinkPad X1 Carbon would have cost me more money for massively worse performance. Quality costs more. The difference is that a 4800U would be looking pretty bad vs a HX370 while the M1 still looks decent 4 years later (especially when that HX370 is unplugged).
