So the extra $10 will only buy you an ethernet and spare USB port now; makes the $35 a harder sell (but not tonight, of course).
- Ecio78 15y agoI dont think so, if you need ethernet connection you need to buy an external lan/wifi card, spend at least a couple of bucks (3$ if you are lucky?)), lose one usb port (or use an usb hub), hope it will work in your OS, just to save some bucks (10-3 = 7$). For me, no way
- moonchrome 15y agoHowever WLAN beats LAN, especially if I chose to build a small case and use this as a HTPC that I can use to watch.
- Ecio78 15y agois the wifi powerful enough for full HD streaming? I think the typical sub-10$ chinese WLAN card is just b/g

- makomk 15y agoEh, you seem to be able to get dirt-cheap USB b/g/n adapters too these days, though they're presumably 2.4 GHz only and who knows what the ARM Linux support is like for them.
- waitwhat 15y agoDifferent people have different use cases. Apparently yours fits the Model B better.
