That sounds about right. Of course depends on the workload, but e.g. when compiling Rust code, having a Apple M-series chip makes a huge difference. That alone would make it hard for me to consider switching to any non-Apple laptop.
From personal experience, I'd also say that there is a noticeable bump in performance between M Max and M Pro chips (= running same workload as colleagues on identical specs apart from the chip), that isn't really apparent in the benchmarks here.
