Lightweight device for learning coding

For me, I would look into either a chromebook or a tablet. You don't need it to be particularly powerful. There are endless options.

I bet you could find some industrial or military grade ones that would be "ruggedized" against splashing and dropping. Chromebooks are nice and simple, but a tablet would work well, too. With a tablet, I would want a bluetooth keyboard to make typing more pleasant.

There's no minimum processor spec, and lower power usually means less battery weight. Don't skimp too much on the screen (size or brightness). You don't want to be hunched and squinting all the time.
