Yeah, it's weird to see the comment criticizing the impact of Intel's CPU patches and Ryzen 4000 systems and then talking about using a RPi4 as an alternative.

I don't have experience with the RPi4, but in previous versions the CPU and IO performance was terrible compared to even a mid-range laptop, so I assume it still is. If you use the system for any kind of work (even if it's just web browsing), an RPi system is going to have an awful ROI compared to a 'regular' laptop.
