What would you recommend as an obvious "you'd have to be a fool to prefer a Pi 4 to this" Celeron-based SBC choice, and how much does it cost?

- caeril 3y agoBeelink N5095 with 8GB RAM and a 256GB M.2 drive goes for $130 on Amazon. If you want just the board, the case is easy to strip off. The only reason not to do this is if you want GPIO pins, but USB->FTDI->Cheap Arduino board is an easy workaround to that. The pi is dead.
- justin66 3y agoFor some people lack of GPIO, increased power usage with the need for active cooling, and a 40% price bump will be offset by the advantages of faster CPU, x86, and the storage. It feels more like something that will live adjacent to the Pi 4 rather than killing it, to be honest. > If you want just the board, the case is easy to strip off. On the contrary, I think I'd be worried running it without the case and cooling.
