Understood that general advice is not to run a homelab on a laptop. But if I were to go down the path of a laptop homelab and went out to buy a new laptop for the sole purpose of using it as a homelab, are there any suggestions for makes/models etc? I’m expecting to need about 64gb ram and 1tb storage. I’m just not sure on processor. Not bothered about the quality of the display or GPU. Many thanks
Financially, it’s going to be a giant waste of money. There are laptops with desktop processors, but they are all either gaming rigs or professional workstations, meaning, they have very muscular graphics, for which you will need to pay, but will have no use (unless you’re into protein folding or finite element calculations). Also, everyone who makes this kind of hardware sells it with Windows pre-installed, for which you will also need to pay.
