Nope, I have mine running on a 2tb nuc at home.

you that NUC looks pretty decent! Umbrel has one too, and there's these "microserver" PCs which are also cool.

Tell me something, other than the HDD space, what is the real difference between a NUC and say a i3 laptop?

The laptop I have is 4gb, 1tb hdd(though I should swap it for a SSD) and then it has screen + peripherals.

I've been weighing up "headless" vs getting an enterprise second-hand laptop (something meaty) to run as a home server

If they have identical specs then nothing besides form factor. A pc is a pc. Probably cost of the screen increases the laptop cost, and maybe increases power draw, but idk.

I like headless because I can just access it from my laptop but you can do that with the laptop server too if you know the ip or setup port forwarding, but my router doesn't permit it.
