I'm sure the processor on the M3 is faster, and probably a fair amount more battery out of it, but now I'm comparing a $1000 zenbook to a $1700 13' macbook once I add disk and memory, without the upgraded cpu.

I bought one and it actually feels very well put together. Quiet, pretty 2.8k oled screen, and long battery which is all I really care about.

They are all metal.
