You mentioned an old laptop - is it too old to have wifi, or why doesn't it seem to be an option? There are SSH clients for iPads (I use termius), but the screen size / cost ratio is rather prohibitive if you only want a smart typewriter. A cheap Thinkpad is definitely worth exploring. Four years ago I bought a used T420 (built in 2011). I paid just over 300€, RAM and SSD upgrade included. It's still running great and the keyboard continues to be a joy to type on :-)
