I think I'm gonna buy a powerful laptop to run a portable Bitcoin node/personal server. Does not really make sense to ship my rpi4 servers across the Atlantic ocean and I won't settle down any time soon.

I don't know if it makes sense though, in terms of necessary specs etc
Or I could just buy a Dell Optiplex or Lenovo ThinkCenter and plug it in ethernet everytime I switch location
#[3] any thought on a portable/nomad Bitcoin node/homeserver solution?

Older laptops are *fantastic* home or mobile nodes, especially as they have a built in battery backup by default.
Get one that you can swap out the 2.5" HDD with a 1-2TB SSD and they'll blow any Pi out of the water, even a budget laptop.
