So it's $5 less expensive, but it's slower, doesn't offer cheaper versions or other configurations. Please remind me why I'd ever go for this one?

- adrian_b 7y agoWhich of Raspberry Pi 4 or ODROID-C4 is preferable, depends on the application. Neither of them is better for all applications. If the power consumption matters, then ODROID-C4 is better. If the performance of the non-volatile memory is a limitation, then ODROID-C4 is much faster. If the speed of DRAM is a limitation, then ODROID-C4 is faster. If the application requires sustained performance with all cores active, then ODROID-C4 is faster, unless a custom cooler is used with RPI 4, which must be either very noisy or very large (larger than the board).
- adrian_b 7y agoTo be more clear, the list of of advantages mentioned above make ODROID-C4 a better choice for any server-like application, while Raspberry Pi 4 is probably better for a personal-computer-like application. I do not use a credit-card-sized computer as a PC instead of my laptop, but I use such computers in server-like applications, so for my uses, ODROID-C4 is better. After you add all the required accessories, the prices fror RPI 4 and for ODROID-C4 are very similar, for both of them you would reach around $100 for a decent system, but the ODROID shop is somewhat more convenient because you can buy from a single place almost any accessory you might need besides the basic board.
