Undeniably correct - but if you use your Pi or any other SBC as a poor man's VDI terminal, in other words, using it to remote into a better computer elsewhere, then it's kind of OK. Personally I still found it too slow and laggy for my taste and instead used an Intel NUC. There's probably a good meet-in-the-middle device available on Aliexpress like the fanless systems people use for firewalls but they too can be pricey (vs a Pi). Would love to see a small ARM device powerful enough to push 4k video but still otherwise fanless, preferably something that could be bolted to the VESA block on a monitor or at least hidden behind the monitor.
