Even Win11 wouldn't be so terrible on one, but I'd of course delete

Do you have an ARM laptop or is that hearsay?

 
 
Were that I had any real credit left, I'd buy one, but no, I'm in debt,
and have to be satisfied with my Intel CPU desktop.

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.
