This isn't true, I have an XPS 13 (9310) with 32 GB of RAM. You can also get the XPS 13 with a 4k screen, although I do not understand why you would. 1920x1200 is already much higher DPI than I care for, 2560x1600 and 4k are just a battery drain.
I'm going off my own benchmarks using Geekbench 5, where the M1 scored 1700 single core and 7500 multi core, and the 1185G7 scored 1550/6000 multi core. (There are people with better results than this on Geekbench as well.)
I wasn't making an argument about the price by the way, I do understand the Air is cheaper, but in my opinion it is cheaper because it is a lesser quality device with key functionality missing. Of course, for some people the Macbook Air is the best value because they don't need or care about these things. Which is totally OK, but having used both devices both the Air and the MBP are non-starters for me.
As I said, I hope future revisions can improve things and be more competitive.
