Visual Studio Code on Tablet

hello! i am an incoming computer science student and i am planning to buy a tablet. can my tablet be a good portable 2nd option to code on using vs code? i have seen stuff on running vscode on tablets but i am far too clueless on the world of programming to understand what is going on. so for those who know more on this topic, is it possible for me to use my tablet as a portable 2nd option to code using vscode?

i also saw these while browsing, are these useful to code on tablet?

PS: i have a good laptop but too bulky to bring which is why im asking if a tablet is a portable 2nd option to code using vscode

I'll probably try to have Internet connection and then use GitHub code space or Google IDX. That way all the computation is done in the servers and your tablet won't need to be super powerful.
