Laptop as minecraft server

Official_Joku · April 10, 2022

Hi! I am planning on buying a new laptop and using it as a 24/7 minecraft server + some gaming here and there. It has following components:

AMD Ryzen™ 5600H Mobile Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
16 GB DDR4 RAM, 512 GB SSD

Is this processor enough? I mean, its a mobile processor...

As a side note: I have old pc that has i7-7700 and that ran the server really well, and cpubenchmark says this mobile prosessor is BETTER than desktop version of i7-7700.

Server has max 10 players at a time and some mods, but not very heavy.

(this laptop is only 600€ at the moment at local store, so its super cheap)

You could try an Oracle Cloud Always Free Instance?

I have pretty complicated setup on my server machine, whole thing basically must be connected with minecraft and there are certain things that can only be done if the server is running on the same hardware. (easily at least). I am also planning on using it for other projects, minecraft being the heaviest. But anyways thanks for the tip, didn't know about this at all!!
