But why? SBC are not supposed to be used as a general purpose computer. They're supposed to be used for some single task. If this task requires 2 GB RAM, why would you pay more for unused RAM? That makes little sense.
Of course if you're building a personal computer, home server or something like that with unspecified tasks, that makes sense.
- matheusmoreira 2y ago> SBC are not supposed to be used as a general purpose computer. Why not? We have smartphones with ridiculously powerful specifications. I use Termux for software development. No reason we can't have computers in the same form factor. I'm planning to buy a clockwork pi uconsole specifically because it's a handheld Linux computer with a physical keyboard.
