For comparison, I'm running about a hundred containers on a 9 year old laptop easily (i7 4700 HQ with 16GB ram), I'm sure I can run many more
Is it running 24/7?
Im currently thinking of using my old laptop for this, but im scared it may get hot
Although i only got core i5 something and a 4gb ram ( asus k46cb )
It is running 24/7 yes, temps are stable and only really goes up when I'm home and actively doing things that would make it go up (like watching jellyfin). It runs with the lid closed and screen off.
You can always use one of those laptop stands with coolers underneath, or even without coolers, just having it lifted may improve airflow too. I did monitor the temps the first few days but it really doesn't seem to be an issue, CPU temps at the moment is around 50 C, GPU is disabled as it's old and can't even be used to transcode anything.
You can always just use your laptop to try it out, see where it goes and then decide to spend money on something better and more suited to your needs.
Thank you, i will try it later :D
