Neither, just run a bitcoin node on your laptop
Saw this Umbrel Home review:

Still trying to decide between this and Start9 for my node upgrade. Opinions?
Discussion
Plenty of very cheap refurbished laptops on the market more than capable of making a reliable node. Buy it without the garbage windows refurb license and install your favorite Linux distro.
My laptop is old with crappy specs. 16 MBs of ram is a big improvement.
You can buy a used laptop for cheaper than umbrel or start9
How much money would you save if you got a laptop with the same specs?
They don't make laptops as shitty as raspberry pis. You can spend like $300 and get something a million times better
I was thinking more about the StartOne that runs Intel, but yeah a used laptop is definitely better than a raspi
What do you so about the proprietary hardware tradeoffs when using or recommending old laptops over SBC? I thought raspberries just have one proprietary hardware component: the graphics chip. 🤦
i like an old sff pc as a server. a laptop is also nice, but this is the search i use on ebay. don't snipe me, please:
`(optiplex, thinkcentre) (tiny, micro) (i5, i7) -(3470,3570,4570,4590,4785,4570,4765,4785)`
i like to filter out the really old processors, as you can see.
