It's still early days for full software support of the M1 chip, but as I have one on my desk, I can say that it is fast. I haven't tried anything graphically intensive yet, so if you need a powerful GPU then maybe the Razer would be better, but I honestly can't say one way or the other. I personally haven't tried a Razer in years, so I can't comment on build quality, but the M1 Air feels pretty good.
