I never said it couldn't be done, hell, I've done it myself. Try being a human and asking me what my actual argument or suggested approach is, try re-reading what I actually said rather than assuming it is X just so you can dunk on it.
Max TDP is completely irrelevant, that is about cooling capacity which completely sucks in a laptop, hence the chip limit. The relevant factor for a server is idle power draw at the wall outlet.
For my servers I get second hand dell / hp / mini pcs for peanuts. Sips power, still work fine, still going strong, upgradeable storage etc. Second hand laptops of the same era are now useless ewaste.
Ah, that's your problem, you're buying Dell and HP laptops, which start off as e-waste. Their batteries have thermal issues while they're still on the factory line and their laptop power supplies are engineered to die no more than 3 minutes after the warranty expires.
We're probably talking past each other. I recommend switching to ASUS.
I'm buying dell and hp laptops? I thought I was the world expert on what I am doing but apparently not.
