Comment on Raspberry Pi 500+ puts the Pi, 16GB of RAM, and a real SSD in a mechanical keyboard

It also costs more than an n100 mini pc or a used thinkpad

Not a fan of blue switches, but an n100 mini pc doesn’t come with a mechanical keyboard! (something something apples and oranges)
Full disclosure: I have an n100 mini pc at this price and I love it.

Looking briefly at american amazon it looks like you can get a mini pc and an (admittedly not amazing) mechanical keyboard for like 200ish dollars.

Oh yeah. Dollar for dollar, they’re not the value proposition they used to be, and I’d bet that n100 can probably outpace the ARM chip in the Pi 5 too with slightly higher power consumption. I’m just like Pi stuff in general for tinkering and the GPIO pins.
