Yes, the big takeaway from this article was that you can do this with any bit of computing equipment, once you understand the core concepts, they can combine in different ways. So instead f a Raspberry Pi you can use an old laptop. While using an old laptop and broadcasting services is pretty easy, the special routing stuff might be a little harder when it comes to creating a mesh with only a laptop. Routers handle network routing, and are made just for that and are easier to operate than turning a laptop into a router. But you can use any router, a new one or an old one, a smaller one or a bigger one. It doesn't really matter, all that matters is understanding how you can take a computer, broadcast services for other computers to connect and optionally - create a network that can spread out and share connectivity with even more computers and devices.
