There are no "gotchas" and I am trying to have a discussion not an argument. The point is that for evaluating a product people have different goals and thus get different value propositions. In particular, I think a pi is a fine product if you value stuff being new and well supported (this also applies in the comparison with other, more powerful SBCs for the same price). If you don't, that is perfectly fine.
In the same vein, why do you prefer or not prefer your mini pc over some random, new n100 mini pc? I would argue that neither is strictly better and that reducing matters to "X is bad, period" is oversimplifying.
- echoangle 2y agoSorry for that, you’re right. For some applications, the RasPi is a good choice. I was just trying to make the point that for private use where price is important and other factors are secondary, a refurbished thin client is probably better than a Pi. And I prefer a refurbished thin client over a new n100 because for my application, the thin client I need is much cheaper than any n100 PC I could find.
