minus-squaredaiarrow-up5arrow-down0·9 months agolinkfedilinkPicked up a laptop with a busted screen $30 cheaper than the RPI 5. 1135G7, 8gb upgradable ram, m.2 storage, wifi, bluetooth and a battery. Raspberry pis’ were great early on, but their appeal has quickly diminished in my eyes considering used hardware options that are available now.
