I've been using an old Dell laptop for 10 years now and it survived quite well in an unheated camp. Its on 24x7 and it plugged into a UPS that helps with the quick power outages. Otherwise, it requires a manual press of the power button. As long as its running its generating enough heat for itself. But even when its been off for a couple of weeks due to a power outage it comes right back. Having an SSD drive would probably help even more since its less moving parts.

I also use a free version of Teamviewer to remote access the laptop.
