It's seat of the pants with no real benchmarks but my Raspberry Pi 5 with 
the Debian Bookworm derived Raspberry Pi OS is reasonable. Compiling for 
the Pico is speedy and VS Code is comparable to the other boxes.

So far the offerings are pricey and I don't have a compelling need for 
another laptop. Battery life isn't too important to me.
