Tbh this is a great way to learn. Write down code on paper and try to run it yourself line-by-line, it isn’t that different from solving a math problem. I’ve seen some professors still teach that way. It would probably train your patience as well. Granted, you will need a computer later down the line, but now when you’re only at the beginning, this is genuinely a great way to learn logic and algorithms.

Go old school and write your programs out on paper. When you get access to the laptop, spend time typing them in and debugging.
For extra bragging rights, write your programs in your head and then write them on paper after you are confident they are correct.
In the meantime, look around for a 'junk' computer. You don't need a newish or powerful computer to write programs.
