  It’s “okay” but you can do much better for the price.

    I bought an old thinkcentre for $50 on ebay that trounces the Pi’s performance.

    Reduce, REUSE, recycle.

      I agree that’s a better device but I don’t think it’s fair to compare new to used. You could probably buy a used Pi4 for $20, and if that is sufficient for your needs, would be a much better deal.

        I suppose looking at it from a gaming/emulation perspective. While the Pi4 was fantastic, there are definitely out there foe that usecase

      Can you attach any RPi HATS to it? No? Not an alternative then.
