Rusty old laptop

If you have an old laptop or computer lying around somewhere, running a node on it can be a feasible endeavor as long as it has enough storage space and RAM. However, laptops are generally not designed for 24/7 operation over long periods of time and if the laptop is old, be prepared for hardware failure at some point. I'd generally advise against using such a system for a Lightning node you plan to put any serious liquidity into.
