  Why would I want a x86 machine if all I need runs so well on my Pi and uses like under 5 Watts?

  idk about a 4b these days but the 5’s are stupid priced. You can get a refurbed 6th gen intel machine with 16gb of ram and an SSD for the price of a 4Gb Pi 5. Add an ESP32 running ESPhome or Firmata and you’ve got everything you could do with a Pi and a lot more.

      Something like the HP EliteDesk 800 G2 will do the trick, they are all over eBay

  If they’ve already got a 4B there’s no reason not to use it for one of the many low-power low-profile uses, especially when the cost of PC components is going nuts now

  Whats an x86_64 equivalent of a pi these days? I’d love to find one

    Check out the Futro S740. It is more powerful than the pi, uses comparable power and still quite compact.

    They can be found (in Germany at least) for 40€ with 4gb RAM and about 50€ for 8gb of ram. Ram is upgradeble, so is storage.
