    Pi’s are ARM-based, which still to this day limits the scope of their applicability.

    Untrue.

    Also, you should absolutely inspect a laptop before buying. Many, if not most, of old laptops will run just fine for the next few years.

    Until the battery needs replacing, costing more than a pi, one key on the keyboard dies, etc.

      Which part?

      Until the battery needs replacing, costing more than a pi, one key on the keyboard dies, etc.

      Do you need any of that? You can remove the battery and keep it plugged, and use it as a server to which you connect over SSH, with an added benefit of having local access if you actually need it.
