I like to keep my nodes up 24/7, in which case I would say you are better off having a dedicated low power computer instead. You don't need a lot of resources. These new mini pcs nowadays have plenty of power to run a node, space for two storage devices if you want some redundancy and they are inexpensive.

My suggestion would be for a mid range mini that you can turn into a server which could run nodes and some of your own self hosted software.
