I think the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB is expensive at its original price of £85.50 (96 USD) + usb-c charger & cable (~ 9 USD) + SD card (~ $30 for 128GB). The only advantage I can see is that it's very small at a total price of $135, but the disadvantage is no case and the SD card will die very quickly when being used as a hard disk, I guess. A mini pc (made in China) with a Intel N5095 CPU (more powerful https://cpu-benchmark.org/compare/raspberry-pi-4-b-broadcom-bcm2711/intel-celeron-n5095/ https://cpu-benchmark.org/compare/raspberry-pi-4-b-broadcom-...), 8 GB RAM, 256GB SSD, dual HDMI 4k, Bluetooth 4.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 4 USB type A, 1 USB type C case, charger included (RAM and SSD are upgradable) costs $160.
