I am going on a vacation, but my PC is stationary and I'll still have to work in some capacity.

Can I just rent a laptop for the duration of my travel?? How and where?

Buy a chromebook and remote in. If you can't get RDP/X over ssh to work you can probably at least get AnyDesk to work.

Then don't go on vacation unless you feel like getting stranded

Setup PoE, WoL with a smart device that can trigger those and google remote desktop (you can remote in from the login screen)
If you don't have a laptop get a bluetooth keyboard to work from a phone/tablet, if you're not even willing to spend the bare minimum for these kind of things why are you even going away on vacation

What do you do for work? If it's just Microsoft Office shit you could probably get away with buying a secondhand shitbox laptop.

Would you rather have a Thinkpad or no laptop at all?

Which is it? Do you plan to work on vacation or not? If so, you're gonna need a laptop.

Look into local rental companies. Do some research. I don't know what's available in your area. Hell, borrow a laptop from a friend if you must.
