Yeah there’s different ways of doing it but I agree that if you’re new to this, keeping them separate is going to be the way to go.

I have a sysadmin / DevOps background so I’m more at home with VMs/container. My setup is probablt way over-engineered for what I’m using it for 😁.

For the laptop I got this model and replaced the SSD with a 2TB one: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Display-i7-6600U-802-11AC/dp/B08WT481PQ

Yeah you do have a slight advantage there. 😂

Thanks a lot buddy, I'll have a look. Did you swap the SSD internally? Was that hard? Or just plug in an external one?

Internally, not hard at all. A small scredriver is usually all you need. Youtube will probably have a how-to video for whatever model you end up getting.

If you decide to go that route and run into any issues/questions, feel free to hit me up!

Thanks mate. 🙏

I’ll dive a little more into hardware as well… seems like the protectlis have also appreciated in price a little…
