I worked for ~3 months exclusively on the N5000 version, writing C++ drivers for the RP2040 (in VSCode) and binding them to MicroPython, plus tending our 32blit (STM32-based) project. Sure I would have used something a lot beefier if I had the opportunity (I do now) but I managed to be productive with it.
The N5000/N5030 are not fast, but coming from WSL1 on Windows 10 over to a Linux-native machine gave me pretty much the same approximate build times.
I still leave my workstation (i9, 32GB RAM, Pop!_OS) in the office and work on the Star Lite if I'm doing some evening tinkering. Or just want to sit on the sofa for a change of scenery.
