If you have a ton of time on your hands, then I really hope you make these Raspberry Pi projects for me. I want to make them myself, but I just don't have the time, however cool or useful they are.

If you don't have room (or the budget) for massive servers to run your homelab, then a mini PC or NUC might be the best choice for you. These compact systems might be tiny in footprint, but pack plenty of power to handle most homelab tasks with ease.

I love my MacBook Pro. It's a great computer, but, when it comes to simply getting work done and lasting all day on a single charge, well, it doesn't do either of those things adequately. Because of that (and more), I really want a Chromebook again.
