On the topic of dev on a low-end machine, yesterday I was eyeing tablet/laptop convertibles, and there are attractive options in the $100-200 range for both Android and Windows now - RCA in particular has been churning out models that review well, sans expected caveats like bad camera or limited battery life. However, my prior experience with an old Asus EEE netbook suggests that VSCode may still be too heavy for these devices. A light Pascal-based IDE might be just the ticket, and in line with the happy path for low-end dev, which heavily favors minimal-overhead, streamlined compilers.
