If you're comfortable with a terminal and have an android tablet or something similar, Try out Termux on android. I use it for a mobile dev suite if I'm stuck and the battery lasts far longer than a laptop.

Otherwise, once again if you have a tablet or the like, try a service like Coder, they also have a bunch of open source tools like sshcode, code-server and sail. Each of their tools are focused around using remote visual studio code instances over a web browser (Like chrome or anything else!) So you can offload your heavy duty work to a server (e.g an EC2 instance) while you keep your machine running nice and quiet and battery sensible!
