I was expecting that to be tip #1 indeed. And it’s why I went to a Nuc eventually. Choose a nice ssd and it will really run for years and years.

- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoNucs also tend to win on performance, software compatibility/upkeep (yay commodity x86), price per performance, and often price outright (pis aren't really $35 if you get a newer/better model and once you buy storage/power/case). AFAICT pis only consistently win on power consumption, and that only just (x86 can get well under 10W, you just have to get the right model)
- arlecks 3y agoDo you have recommendations for a NUC to replace a raspberry pi that draws around 10W when idle?
- johnchristopher 3y agoAnd possibly one as silent as a fanless pi4 ?
- enioarda 3y agoHave a look at the Beelink SER5, idle around 5W and its quite affordable https://www.notebookcheck.net/Ryzen-5-5560U-performance-debut-Beelink-SER5-mini-PC-review.762934.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/Ryzen-5-5560U-performance-debu...
- dannyw 3y agoThe Intel N95 and N100 NUCs are amazingly efficient.
- CTDOCodebases 3y agoThin clients are also an option. Similar power consumption but power and case/cooling/storage is included. Depending on what you choose you get eMMC or SATA or M.2 SATA or M.2 NVMe for storage. For anyone that is interested: https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/ https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/
