An HP EliteDesk 705 G4 (I can see some under 100EUR) or Lenovo ThinkCenter M715q Gen2. Both have the slightly lower clocked but lower TDP 2400GE.

- theshrike79 2y agoIsn't that a full-ass PC with a DVD drive and all?
- mvkel 2y agoThese are wild. Why would anyone buy a Pi??
- theshrike79 2y agoHabit and old information. The pi 2 and 3 were very well priced for what they did. The 4 got hit by covid and is still selling at bonkers prices - more than the 5 in some places :D The 5 is a powerful machine, but also very expensive. Add a case, M.2 hat, power supply and you're hitting 150€ easily. Unless you need something very specific, like HDMI CEC, GPIO or the ability to swap to a new board in a bigger industrial device - the 5 is not a good choice. Any N97/N100 chinesium minipc or a used corporate machine like the Lenovo M700 will outperform the 5 in every metric along with having stadard M.2 + SATA + SoDIMM slots for upgradeability.
- mvkel 2y agoOld habits die hard! Just bought a Thinkcentre Tiny, and it's about 10X more powerful than anything I would have assumed I'd buy. Time to dust off the ol' home lab
