> Yeah, sadly there are entry level laptops cheaper than a phone or said monitor plus a keyboard and mouse Many people already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard lying around. They'll also have a phone already. Plus, there are very cheap docks where you can just slide your phone into a laptop shell, priced similarly to the worst and most awful Chromebooks imaginable. > So nothing works offline. You can run a vscode server on your phone (https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/releases https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/releases). What's lacking is the VSCode GUI, so pointing a browser at http://[::1]:8080/ http://[::1]:8080/ will work just fine.
