I’m torn. On one hand, $60 is an incredible introductory price for the 4 GB model. On the other hand, it still falls behind the Orange Pi 5, which can be found for very reasonable prices similar to the 8 GB model, and is still even more powerful. There’s no doubt the community support will be outstanding as it always has been for the Raspberry Pi, but as somebody who’s seeking out the highest performance for x86/64 gaming (box86 and box64), I don’t know if I could justify getting a weaker SBC. I still might grab a couple of the 8 GB models to add to my proxmox cluster…
