This board costs 3 times the RPi (model B), it's not comparable. It's x86 so the premium price is justified IMHO, BUT it's not really comparable with a 25 USD b

- sokoloff 13y agoMaybe true for a personal user, but not for a business. If you're not basing a product around it, the parts cost is trivial compared to the engineering time cost. If you want just one (or a handful) for a one-off project, $25 and $75 are "the same" to any sane business for this. The team will likely spend more on coffee than controllers/SBCs in the course of development.
- vonmoltke 13y agoI see you have never worked for the accounting department at certain large companies like I used to work for. Oh, we had to buy our own coffee, too.
- rprospero 13y agoWhile I agree with you, my experience is that most businesses don't recognize your definition of sane. My office decided that providing ink pens was too high of an expense.
