If the cost and size of the Pro 8 is ok for you compared to the Go 3's, consider the Pro X or the newer Pro 9 5G, they're based on a ARM64 SoC [0]. They're more than enough for all of what you mentioned, they're fanless and the battery lasts longer

[0] Microsoft SQ2 and SQ3 respectively, which in turn are binned and rebranded Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 and 3 respectively

"Do some coding" can mean a lot of things. Rustc still chews through desktop-class CPUs.

You're right, I should have been more specific. I'm thinking toy projects in Rust.

I think that the size is an important detail for me. I have a 13" laptop that I can use when I can carry it, but I'm thinking more something that I can fit in the front pocket of my Napapijri Rainforest jacket.
