Get an XPS13 for the same money, and put Linux on it. It's a much better hardware/software combo, and Apple can't unilaterally kill it by refusing to provide upgrades a few years from now.

Yeah it'll just be dead on arrival instead
Edit: Also Intel Core 5 320 that's way slower than the Neo, with same amount of RAM

Arrant nonsense, the Core 5 comfortably beats the A18.

Seeing the other way around on Geekbench 6, for example https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/18371082 vs https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/16884902 and the Intel has more samples there than on Passmark
n.b. the Geekbench multicore test is more like a 2-core test because it adds lock contention, which is arguably closer to the real use case for these machines but isn't what you normally think of a multicore test doing
