While it's not currently available to purchase on that page, the version tested was 16GB (not 32GB), and presumably screen, storage, etc. factor into the higher price. I'd expect closer to the $2,195 Ryzen 5 Pro / 16GB system price. Somewhere in between that and $3,309.
But given the way this testing was done, there's little reason to step up from the $1,499 Air, either, though testing the $1,699 Air with 16GB would've alleviated any potential concerns about RAM affecting benchmark scores.
