ODROID's have been marketed as an ARM replacement for intel systems for at least a couple years now. With the X2 or whatever it was supposedly outperforming intel core i3's. Anyway, I've no doubt they're fast, but the ODRIOD is what I'd personally consider as a marketing ploy of sorts. Without any options, the base system is inexpensive. The problem is, in order to do anything with one of these boards, you have to at minimum opt in for two "options" that are actually requirements. #1 a power supply, and #2 an sdcard. Not to mention keyboard, mouse, monitor . . . blah bah bah. Needless to say, I priced out one of these boards, and adding "options" to a point where I'd consider this as a "PC replacement". At that time, the cost was more than $300, where you can buy an Intel entry level laptop. On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 7:50 PM, John Syne <[email protected]> wrote: > Yep, I agree with William.
