I have the m3 model.  Almost as fast as my 2015 Google Pixel LS with an older generation i7.  The keyboard is perhaps the nicest I have ever typed on.  Lightest Chromebook I have ever had as well.  I think of it as the Macbook Air of Chromebooks.  I have gotten as much as 12 hours of use on a single charge.  Amazing product.Bought one for my wife as well.
