I think that Dell would claim that their brand is the more valuable for their purposes.
- inetknght 9y agoI think parent comment was discussing the names rather than the hardware. When I think "Raspberry Pi" I think "Oh yeah there's not very many of those, and they're super cheap and low power and useful" When I think "Dell", I think "Conglomerate"; when I think "Optiplex", I think "stupid-expensive desktop machines"; when I think "FX160" I think "oh great a !@#$ing model number to look up specs for". Yeah, it's 'cheap' and 'powerful' and 'useful', but far more effort goes into identifying its purpose. And, since it doesn't have any GPIO, it's useful in a different way. Honestly, it's like comparing apples to oranges. One just keeps the doctor away while I use the other as the base for soups.
