I do work for someone who is using NanoPi boards. I also have an OrangePi 
board that I'm evaluating as a replacement for an RPi board in another product.


There are so many boards from which to choose that have "Pi" in the name 
along with a lot of other similar form factor boards. Prices can vary quite 
a bit depending on features. Some cost quite a bit more than one of the RPi 
boards.

+1 for Odroid. But I need to upgrade my XU4's to something Arm64 soon.

It does seem interesting. I watched a video where someone gave a detailed 
breakdown of what is on the board. I won't be rushing out to buy one. I 
already have too many RPi boards.

A feature dropped was the 3.5mm audio out jack. So for audio from the
Raspberry Pi 5 you will need it from the HDMI, Bluetooth, or via USB.
On the Pi 4 / Pi 400 I have played around with Bluetooth audio, and
while there may be some optimization that I missed, my experience was
that the audio with games lagged what was happening on screen. For
USB, I've played with USB sound cards (giving both audio out and
microphone in) with an eye towards video conferencing and found those
satisfactory. Also, as long as you don't need high volume, a low end
USB speaker (like: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3369 ) works well.
Also, I've used a VGA monitor with a Pi 400 using one of these HDMI to
VGA adapters that lets you connect conventional speakers, which works
well ( 
https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=5_3931_4363_id=121160=u7t9tdh0opp5utj2bcb3s83t23
).

So, one real but minor disappointment aside, everything else looks
good, and I do have a Pi 5 pre-ordered :-) .

its one of the reasons I've been working at finding a good alternative.
