Yes, just like a Raspberry Pi except without GPIO headers, and 4X the price. A great Nettop PC but a RaspberryPi it is not.

- wmf 14y ago4X the price for 8X the performance could be a good deal for some people.
- nzjames 14y agoI think one of the great things about the Raspi is that it is not competing on being powerful, it's got an community aiming at an accessible and fun experience.
- joshu 14y agoyou can get close enough through various adapters. really not a significant difference.
- yardie 14y ago$130 vs $35 is not a signifigant difference? The difference is the Pi is an impulse buy (when you can get it). For me, anything over $100 gets asked 3 questions: what am I using it for? How much time can honestly spend with it (the most important question)? Is it worth the price? Negative on 1 and 2 and yes for 3. The thing about the Pi is I don't feel guilty when I don't use it. Nor do I when I leave it on for weeks.
- luv2code 14y agoit actually has a plethora of ports, they're just all in that one 50 pin header. GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, etc...
- yardie 14y agoThanks for point that out. I honestly thought it had IDE, and seeing that, even now, new MBs ship with LPT and serial it wouldn't be out of place.
