Yes, I have a $400 Lenovo Yoga 6 that has better software compatibility, larger software ecosystem, has working trackpad palm rejection, working wake from sleep Touch ID, can play Cyberpunk 2077/God of War/Doom Eternal/etc., has touch and pen inputs, can multiboot Windows/Linux/BSD/MacOS, etc. that are lacking on my M1 MBA. M1 MBA has some pros but overall behind the other in usability.
1. better software compatibility
- well, it's an x86 machine, but times are changing and the x86 star is sinking
2. lager eco system?
- i haven't seen something like an "eco system" outside the Apple universe
- if you can't operate your tasks seamlessly between different devices, don't tell it eco system!
3. working "trackpad" an a lenovo?
- not even close to a real trackpad
4. working wake from sleep
- is not a hardware issue
- windows is just unable to made that ever happen
- with linux you have to pray for good device drivers
5. TouchID
- no you haven't
- the fingerprint recognition on Lenovo notebooks works, but it isn't nearly as secure as TouchID
6. AAA-Gaming on a Lenovo Yoga 6
- nice try, dude
7. touch and pen
- no one asks for this on a notebook, because it's unergonomic for working
8. mutiboot
- bootcamp is still there on M1/M2 machines, but it's hidden
- it comes back, if windows for arm is mature (maybe never)
- you can easily install almost every other system that works on ARM chips
- or just virtualize it (even x86 Windows, if you like)
9. MBA for pros
- MBP is for pros
- MBA is made for people who want a light, fast and durable notebook, but have no need for zillions of interfaces or the very last percent of power
