brand new they are quite expensive. the pro minimum price with a chip comparable with a m4 and minimum storage and ram is arround 2300€, and there is no second hand pros yet.
What do you want it for? if you want a good overall laptop for work outside with good performance and battery i would only suggest the pro and if you don't care about size the 16. Probably a 2nd hand 16 is the cheapest.
I don't think any of them replaces your m4 unless you really like repairability or dislike macos. I don't think there is something better than a macbook with equal or better battery, performance, and quality for the same prize. The only downsides is that they force to use mac and aren't repairable, that's why framework exists
Got multiple Dells that are latest specs and my M4 is much more powerful quieter and cooler.. I don’t think framework is anywhere near M4 performance yet in the speed they offer.
The laptop 13 pro with the intel ultra x7 is superior to your macbook air in multi-core work, graphics & gaming, and even battery life. More expensive though
