Ultimate Raspberry Pi v. ZIMA Board Showdown!

The Raspberry Pi is under siege...

ZimaBoard is a low-cost single-board server designed for makers and geeks.

Zimaboard has both the expandability of an x86 SBC and the appropriate power of a microserver. With ZimaBoard, you can setup a 4 Terabyte personal cloud in 5 minutes, configure a secure VPN to protect your digital footprint, tune your network with OpenWrt and pfSense, build a 4K media server that runs with Plex, share and collaborate with team members on your files, or upgrade your smart projects across different systems.

ZimaBoard is created by makers who got tired of recurring fees, unfriendly presets, and isolated systems. We want to make the home digital experience more attractive and affordable.

FYI not disclosing paid endorsement goes against the FTC guide. If you're making this for free, you should reevaluate.

[badgerboy]

The Zima is twice as expensive but the pi is overpriced? You don't know what you are talking about or you got given them boards to review like I've seen other YouTubers I've seen.

[jstered]

You should disclose when you receive payments for advertising. It is illegal and immoral to not disclose to your viewers when you are showing them a paid endorsement, weather that’s obvious or not.

[Nāmarūpa]

$160 for the Zima at a spec level that matches the RPI4. $70 for the RPI4.

[Thgmrn]

Complains about over priced SBCs then goes ahead and buys 10 ...

[clicksandbeeps]

Bro. You cannot just advertise this product and then not disclose this in the video. Even if it’s in the description, you have to at least _say that you’re being paid_

[cenchloraadums]

You don't love SBCs, you love money..😂

[thebalauru]

I like the part where he actually mentions the Zima's price

[cashdoo]

*”Watch me incorrectly compare technology while performing illegal activity!”*

[martindejong]

They are NOT overpriced, they still costs $35.
(unless indeed you buy them from scalpers that multiply the price by 5 or six times)

[BobsPartyTimeLounge]

Says raspi is overpriced at $120 and goes and buys 10x Zima board computers that are listed at $119.99 each! 😂

[damian]

I remember when the whole appeal for a Raspberry Pi was that they were cheap and so readily available as a result

[kittenzrulz]

Raspberry Pi 5 is likely more powerful and significantly cheaper, of course you wouldn't mention that since ITS AN UNDISCLOSED PAID AD. Report and click the do not recommend button.

[xavlumme]

I would like to see a price comparison

[mrdrummer]

You imply that the Zima board is cheaper than the raspberry pi. It isn't. Currently it's ~$150. This is blatant false representation of a product that you clearly didn't pay for.

[derockx]

that disk i/o is just the speed of your microsd card..

[illiaishchuk]

Now compare the Raspberry pi to the Arduino

[mr_bear]

Got paid to receive 10 overpriced pi clones, for free, but said he bought them

[formam]

The prices you showed for the pi is the scalped prices, that's really unfair.
