Looking for some advice on whether to go with a mini PC or a laptop for a specific use case.
Current setup: I've got a laptop with 8GB RAM and it's really struggling.
What I'm running: I've built a bot that's connected to my Discord server. When I need to buy something, I hit a button in Discord and it opens 25–30 separate browser instances (each its own profile/login) and starts completing the purchases automatically. Speed matters, since items can sell out quickly, so I need all the sessions to load and run without lag or crashing.
What I need:
Thanks in advance!

What I need:
- Enough RAM and CPU to handle 25–30 browser sessions at once (I'm guessing 32GB minimum?)
- Ideally something that can stay on 24/7 so the bot is always ready
- Reliable and doesn't overheat under load
- Mini PC or laptop for this? I don't really need portability, but I'm open to it if there's a good reason. Could I remote desktop into it if I need?
- How much RAM would you recommend for this many browser instances?
- Does CPU matter much here, or is it mostly RAM?
- Any specific models you'd recommend?
Thanks in advance!
