    Hi, vincetaylor 

    According to your requirement, I think the gateway cluster of Power BI can perfectly meet your needs. You can add another gateway under your original gateway to create a cluster using your laptop.

    Once you added the data source to this gateway cluster to be refreshed, the secondary gateway will take over the position of the primary gateway if the primary gateway is down. And you can also choose to let traffic be distributed evenly across gateways in a cluster if you turned on this option.

     

    You can follow this document to add another gateway to create a cluster:

    Thank you very much!
