FYI token speed is somewhat irrelevant for agentic development. You let it run, then you come back. The whole point is that it's asynchronous. If it takes 4 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours...who cares?

You care if you run it on a laptop. It's getting hot, fans are spinning, and you may want to use laptop for other things while the agent is working.

I have a Studio 128gb, so it's not an issue.
