 Laptops can work but need to be always on which they aren't designed for. An old cheap dell optiplex or something like it with 2TB and 8G is a better option for full node. 
Umbrel has lots of fan bois but also has lots of problems and can be security risk running random apps on your full node. 
I use start9 for a secondary pruned node for lightning.

 I have a Tanto full node by RoninDojo because I am a Samourai Wallet/ Sparrow Wallet user. It is simply the very best dedicated full node hardware/software stack.
I have an old dell that I run start9 on with a pruned node for lightning. I prefer to keep them separate.
