Not long ago I wrote about the Raspberry Pi 5 launch and how I would recommend a Pi to most people at this point as Mini PC's are not much more but far more powerful.
Can you explain what you mean by this?
Are you saying you *wouldn't recommend a Pi because Mini PC is not much more [expensive] but far more powerful [cpu]?
I was super annoyed that the PI5 was backordered to January as I was looking to buy one for my nephew.
Never heard of the Mini till now.
If you need gpio pins or super small device then go Pi. If you are looking for compute then mini pc better in almost every way and not a little more expensive. It’s also x86 so you don’t need to deal with arm issues.
