I have the 8 GB one.
I agree the 16 GB one is useless (especially how weak it is,I would rather buy a Optiplex or Thinkpad for that price with 16gb ram)
Power efficiency is still a consideration. I am 100% for rehoming business waste. I have several optiplex and think station’s. Modern AMD and Intel are getting better. But still not there in efficiency. And older systems certainly aren’t. But sadly, at this point unless that or space are at a premium. For home lab use they are much less viable now.
Oh true.
Thats why i bought a rpi5 (when it was still 80 usd),I love how you can run it from a powerbank and a usbc screen concurrently.
Which am currently doing with mine.
I also like how you can make it portable.
Yes I’m very interested in different ISAs myself. Looking to make a super portable system from an SBC. Although I’m waiting to see what these upcoming RVA23 RiscV SBCs are going to bring. And hopefully build something around one of them. If by the point they come out later this year Hardware just hasn’t become unaffordable entirely.
