But in context: It simply can't take very much grunt to provide a modern take on a ridiculously-limited portable computer from 1983.
The TRS-80 Model 100 that is the context here had an 80C85 processor running at a scalding 2.4MHz, and featured as much as 24 kilobytes of SRAM.
And that's a pretty excellent spec for a portable computer in 1983, but it's a complete snoozefest compared to a RP2040 dev kit like the Pi Pico (at a cost of around three US dollars).
