A Surface Go has been computationally sufficient for remote SSH dev use for VS Code with Rust with my (admittedly small) projects. I no longer bring my XPS 15 when visiting parents for extended visits. The 10" screen/keyboard is a drawback, obviously, but performance hasn't been since it's the remote machine doing the heavy lifting.

Since the edit timer has expired, I will point out that it's the 8GB/SSD model I have experience with. Total RAM usage is over 4GB and I'd expect the eMMC model to be just generally a bad time.
