That’s all true but the OP said that Pis are “no longer cheap”. The reply was simply a demonstration that they are still available at the same price point, no matter what the competition is or isn’t doing.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoIn this market, "cheap" is often comparative to performance. You can now get better capabilities for the same price.
- spookie 2y agoSure, if you want to deal with strange problems no one has ever faced. RPi's strength isn't in meaningless performance benchmarks, is in actually getting stuff done.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoA mini PC with an x86 CPU is the opposite of "user-unfriendly." Compared with Raspberry Pis, laypeople can easily use those.
- afavour 2y agoThey vary widely. I bought an off brand mini PC where the USB ports randomly lost power. There was no online community or support to speak of to help me figure out the problem. In that regard the Pi is far better.
- sdh9 2y agoPis eliminate variables, for sure. But, if you stick to name-brand business machines off lease, I doubt you'll have a problem like that.
