Well no, I specifically meant because of the disk; you need 1TB to run a node now, who has “an old laptop” with 1TB in it?
1TB is the default option if you buy a MacBook Pro today; nobody with a 5 year old laptop lying around has 1TB in it.
The RAM is another problem altogether. RaspberryPi nodes are basically dead
