I'm in the same boat. I have the 2021 MacBook Pro 16 (M1 Pro, 32GB) - my roommate has the laptop from this deal (M4 Air 13, base). Performance is comparable, but they get noticeably better battery life, thanks to 60Hz lower brightness screen and having more efficiency cores. I wouldn't upgrade for the hardware, and the display is just plain worse, as are the speakers. I would however consider this to get the same performance in a more portable package, and to get another 4 years of updates.
Exactly what I'm considering. Wonder how much a M1 Pro can get on the market lol
If your goal is new warranty, lightness and possibly longer updates (they're all arm-based so theoretically OS support based on architecture should be pretty close), go and swap out. My wife is okay with her M2 MBA, myself, I have an M1 Pro.. I prob wont upgrade until M5 Pro
If you want to save a lot of money get a tax exemption with your state they only cost less than $50 a year and will pay for them selves in one purchase
