The laptop will be much faster and better in the long run. Plus, it has a built-in battery backup!

Be sure to put it in a closet otherwise you’ll want to tinker on it and that’ll only result in downtime eventually
umbrel actually has some buggy limitations though very compact as a server sitting quietly at some corner in the room.
wonder if another OS running on a pi would be better?
Am I correct in understanding the following:
With an Electrum Personal Server (EPS), one can have the timechain on an external SSD, and actually one doesn’t HAVE to have it running continuously, so that, if on the road, one can take the SSD and laptop and periodically connect them to synch to the latest block.
And then can use Sparrow and, if needed, can send/receive transactions..
Have used Umbrel with a raspi before, just curious about this new setup.. playing with it today
