It's hard to compare. You need a clearer criterium for "comparable". If they are comparable in terms of speed, so they are the same. If they are comparable in terms of price, so you need more info about what's the price that you are considering and what are the laptops with similar prices where you live (here in Brazil, Apple products are far more expensive than the others).
Not to mention the architecture: Apple Silicon performs better in some tasks (e.g. running Android emulators) not because they are faster, but because they are ARM.
PS: I have a MacBook Air, but in terms of performance purely there are better options for the same price here.
