I’ve never heard of Intel N100 before, what’s that? Just so you know, a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 Gigabytes of RAM costs ~90€ in my country (Germany). I wouldn’t really count that as overpriced. Could you show me some machine examples with Intel N100?
Comment on Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs?

Why not get an Intel N100? It’s about the same price and much better performance. Raspberry Pis is kind of overpriced these days.

I think he meant something like these mainboards (german comparison portal). These mainboards contain the CPU.
However, you also need memory, a case, storage and a power supply, which brings you closer to 200€.

They essentially mean something like a.aliexpress.com/_EIX2dNj
The price is comparable to a Raspberry Pi

True, they are much cheaper on aliexpress than on our local suppliers.

Look into beelink mini s12 pro for example. Currently 199 eur on Amazon. Just install Linux on it and Bob’s your uncle. It’s x86 so no weird arm issues. Full support of the hw in mainline kernel.
Intel, 500 GB SSD , 16 GB ram, GPU acceleration, WiFi 6, Bluetooth, 1 Gbps link. You can add another SSD drive. Raspberry is clearly an underdog here.

That’s cheap. If a raspberry pi 5 with power supply, case, nvme ssd is about 270 euro in my country. That’s about the same for a N100 mini pc.

Because I can’t power an N100 via PoE.
Atemu@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
You probably could. Though I don’t see the point in powering a home server over PoE.
A random SBC in the closet? Sure. Not a home server though.

There’s a lot of technology I don’t see the point in; it doesn’t mean it’s not useful to somebody else.
