I lost my interest in SBCs when they started to cost as much or more than Celeron products. Greed will ruin a business!

[fuleo]

Orange Pi 5 is also RK3588S and is currently up for pre-order at $70usd. That even has an M2 pcie connector.

[springleaf]

If you're gonna skip a heads up on price, then im not gonna keep listening. VERY tedious.

[nionut]

I would love to see a test with Debian

[qa_rus]

Please, review Ubutnu on this SBC. Thank You!

[nobushi]

I think that the SoC was chosen to handle 2.5 Gb internet routing, as the "R" line of NanoPi seems to be geared towards routing usage.

[lifehacker]

Please review this as a daily driver. Just casual web browsing in Debian / Ubuntu and measure power consumption. Would be really interesting!

[harshbarj]

I was so excited when I started the video, but just 2 minutes in I'm questioning finishing. No wifi/BT. NO internal mass storage connector. Only 2 USB ports. This really is going to be best used as a network bridge / router. Not a daily use PC. They simply gave too much up for the additional network ports.

[vincentnunna]

A really important question is: which sbc has the largest community?? NANO PI/KAHDAS/ORANGE PI (Raspberry excluded). Raspberry favors sales to industries rather than to peaple and they are late on the market for new products. (Maybe because of broadcomm lagging behind its rockchip competitor). In any case I think part of the raspberry community will migrate to another sbc...but which one?

[diuran]

Don't ever ask us if we want to see how any device working on Linux OS :) . YES we Always want to know how any devices work with Linux OS, how youtube plays and if there any fps drops, How snap is the distro, and rest. We Always want to know :)

[Alegzander]

Considering today's Raspberry Pi prices (even second hand), this seems like good value by comparisson. Like others on here, I also get the impression this would make for a nice router, even though for that task, the SoC is kind of overkill. Still, OpenWRT would be a great fit for this board.

[florbosagbag]

This looks like a fantastic router. A 3 port config is really nice for adding a failover line to your home network for emergencies.

[davemckewan]

Yes, I'd like to see this running Debian and maybe something like a pihole type setup too.

[spuwho]

This model has had some issues passing traffic at wire speed on the 2.5Gbe ports.

[UweBein]

Would love to see an Ubuntu review - especially if this thing can run 4k Video w/o App restriction from Youtube and Netflix.

[barden]

Would love to see Ubuntu running on this box. Cheers

[-r-]

I‘d be interested in its performance as a router - but this is certainly a very neat board for emulation and as a Shield user I‘m a little envious. Only a tiny little bit.

[jacobwalden]

Always love your content eta. Keep up the great work.

[davejay]

But this all means nothing if the shape/connections are different and can't fit inside a PiBoy or other purpose built devices...

...so great power... but can I put it in a device that a Rasberry Pi would work in??? Cause if not...

[romka]

can you add plex server testing compare to nvidia shield?
