Comment on The best computer from 2014
rmuk@feddit.uk 6 months agoI honestly tell people not to buy a RasPi unless they really need the specific hardware form factor (GPIO, etc). For virtually every application, a second-hand USFF PC is cheaper and more powerful, has better I/O and comes with a quality PSU.

1000%. Used PCs are the way to go over a raspberry pi unless you have specific accessories or something. Almost everyone just uses a raspberry pi as a USB host or for network services anyway. Gpio use cases tend to be better served by Arduino or esp32 too
