I have a 10 year old laptop of very low specs. I had given a detailed description of the specs and made a post regarding the use to which it can be put, and more or less everyone pointed to self hosting.

Now, if the machine is powerful enough, why not put it to some productive use ??

And so l’m exploring an unknown territory.

    your old laptop has a 45 watt a4-3330mx processor. it’s slow. very slow. it uses a lot of power for that slowness. use it to learn on, but once you’re ready to ‘deploy’ an always-on service, i would highly recommend something a little newer and more energy efficient. especially if you live in a part of the world with high electricity costs.

    the intel n100 processor in popular minipc draw a max of just 6 watts while also being 6-8x faster than the 3300mx
