Is my old laptop good for minecraft server hosting?

Its 8gb ram, 1.80ghz 2 core CPU, and integrated GPU. Is this good enough for around 50 players max? (Note: its a old pc, dont use it anymore) Or should I build a desktop for hosting

You might be able to get away with it. I used to host a server on my 2-year-old Alienware laptop and it would run great. Best bet is to buy a dedicated server.

Just test server on your laptop and its alll xdxdxd

It could work. The more threads the CPU has the faster it can process memory to the RAM or something like that.

You don't have the most actual CPU but can Work

You should test run a server first

Its ok but you cant expect a super stable server
