You bought a laptop to run home assistant?? Why? Why not just a random thinclient for ~50€?

Different people have different use cases. A thin client doesn't work for video object recognition, nor does it come with a keyboard, display, SSD or battery backup.

They usually do come with SSD. If you need object recognition, there are ones with an PCIe slot for a gpu.

But I am honestly not sure why you need a keyboard and display on a server.

Maybe they want to be able to type things into it and look at the output without having to go over the network.
