It’s OKish as a starting point into selfhosted world but overall not ideal. The battery is a fire risk and the entire thermal design isn’t really geared towards 24/7 operation.
Not really something I’d co locate unless it was a DC physically near me so that stopping by is easy
I remember having this old Dell Latitude, where you could easily swap out the battery pack with a button/tab thing on the back, without having to open anything else up - I even got a spare bigger capacity battery, but it would work without one altogether when connected to the power brick.
I unironically think that all laptops should be built like that.
But overall without aggressive throttling these devices work a maximum of half an hour before the components get saturated with heat and performance tanks.
So thermals are specd for both running at same time but you only need CPU for home server so shouldn’t throttle
You don't need any of those.
But powering down battery is not enough against the fire risk. Servers get hot 24/7 and might still overheat the battery.
