Again I'd have to ask you to explain the difference. If the differentiator is price, then why doesn't the richest man in the world have the most expensive one?

Again I'd have to ask you to explain the difference. If the differentiator is price, then why doesn't the richest man in the world have the most expensive one? It seems to me that if the richest man in the world drives an inexpensive car, then the more expensive car is worthless. And then to use the analogy, the more expensive Arduino is likewise worthless?
- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoThe reason I liked your answer is that it shows that the selection of Arduino vs Pi or Mercedes-Benz vs Hyundai is "application dependent." Ultimately they're both computing platforms used for control purposes. In some cases, the predictable I/O performance of the Arduino is an advantage over the Pi. In others it's not. In some cases, the built-in network access, CPU speed, UI capability of the Pi is an advantage, in others it's not. If Bezos actually does drive an Accord (with an entourage of security around him I imagine) then all that tells me is that for his "application," it's sufficient. It doesn't say anything about the merits of other cars.
