I don't know what to buy. Classic inquiry, right?

I really want to buy the new Macbook Air base model for 1k. The only thing holding me back is the fact I won't have access to some windows applications, like Blizzard games. Is there a Windows laptop that costs 1k, and still stays close to the performance of the M1 Macbook Air base? If so, can someone send direct me to where I can buy it?

Greetings. This is probably the most similar we would have at the price point: https://www.microcenter.com/product/621986/maingear-vector-2-156-gaming-laptop-computer---black

Looking at benchmarks, the M1 does outperform the processor though. https://laptopmedia.com/comparisons/preliminary-apple-m1-vs-intel-core-i7-10750h-apple-have-created-a-contender-that-is-better-than-the-i7-10750h-by-up-to-31/
It appears the video card in the Apple would be similar to the RTX 2060 as well.

If you wanted to use Windows on the Mac, you could look into using Parallels as well. https://www.parallels.com/
