I personally graduated from a Rpi3b to an Intel NUC years ago and never looked back. Real RAM slots and Storage options internally and you can get as nice a processor as your budget allows. So my vote is to move to the SFF PC and let your Pi stick around for other projects.

Thanks for your insights. Thought about a NUC as well, but AFAIK it doesn’t have pcie slots? So I won’t be able to install eg a graphics card or pcie coral?

Three versions that I know of have it but you’re right it’s not common. www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/…/intel-nuc.html

I wouldn’t go NUC if you need a PCIe slot. The HP you were talking about would fit the bill though.
I believe they make a Coral that fits where the wifi chip goes too. As long as you are ok ditching the wifi/bt functionality for a TPU. For a server doing image processing that’s almost a no-brainer to me.

Interesting re the wifi chip, as all posts I’ve found said it only works for a wifi card. Do you have a source for that?
Yeah, no wifi is no problem. It’ll be connected via cable

Oh I’m not sure if it actually works. I thought they just made one to fit that slot
