Thank you Michael. Embedded Controllers are something I personally have never had to deal with, except as an inviable part of things I use.
But, yes, things like that when cheap enough, make plenty of sense.

A Raspberry Pi Pico W costs less than £5, is a lot smaller, and has a
much lower power consumption than a laptop, so if it's good enough for
the purpose (embedded controller), why use a laptop? That's overkill!
