Is the MacBook Neo a downgrade from the M1 Air?

Описание: The two laptops I've tried and reviewed recently- the M1 MacBook Air from 6 years ago, and the new MacBook Neo- are SURPRISINGLY similar... but there are a few differences, most notably the price. So I wanted to make a video going over my experience having used both now from build quality, features, battery, performance, which one is better- and why I think the better laptop is NOT the one I'd recommend most people to buy.
