The perfect home server for me would be:

* No larger than a very thick laptop

* 2 SFP+ ports

* 8 POE ports

* zigbee, zwave, and maybe rtlsdr radio

* large laptop battery as a UPS

* built in TPU

* decent CPU

* at least integrated GPU, if not a slot for a discrete GPU

* NVMe

This would replace my large, noisy, power hungry rack with a single unit that would handle OPNSense, home automation, security cameras, and my various apps like photo management, nextcloud, mastodon, minecraft servers for the kids, etc

I don't think anyone sells anything like this, but I think it might not be hard to build using Framework laptop parts, a cheap POE switch, and a custom built case...
