A Macbook Air M3 is significantly faster than this HP Elitebook in for example compilation tasks.

I don’t know about all of you but in my day to day work I compile code very often, and I used personally a work issued M2 Air and a work issued HP Elitebook Raptor Lake. The M2 Air was leaps faster, leaps.

Some older and more traditional colleague who had a Alder Lake workstation laptop was surprised how much faster the M2 was to his machine.

The M3? No, the opposite. It is pretty much a wash with the M3 Pro and for 3x the price this is not at all "significant".
