I realised a while ago that it’s way cheaper to hunt for second-hand intel NUCs, and the resulting machine is way more powerful… And the RAM and storage is upgradeable, if the NUC didn’t come with plenty of storage or RAM already…

I almost bought a RPi and realized I'd get better value at a Dell mini PC. Sure it's significantly bigger than a Pi, but it's still small enough for my use case. I just don't see a good reason to get a Pi anymore. It used to be a cheap hobbyist board. Now it's...something else.

I would have been in the market for one, but they were already a terrible value proposition. Meanwhile, Mac Mini prices have held stable at an already good price/performance ratio...

That really sucks I wanted to build a magic mirror with a Pi.
