HomeLab Hardware Question (Lenovo/Raspi)

Hi,

i ordered 3 x Lenovo M710Q mini i5 7th generation 16GB RAM 256 GB SSD for my homelab.

I also have a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB which is not in use currently.

Does it make sense to setup the Raspi as k8s controlplane and use the 3 Lenovos as workers or is the Raspi underpowered for that?

Or is it better to setup only the 3 Lenovos for k8s (1x controlplane & 2x workers)?

Thanks for your insights

Chris
