There are several fruit named Pi boards. You have discovered OrangePi. There
is also BananaPi. Another non-fruit named set of boards are the NanoPi boards.

There are more boards similar to the above but those are the ones that came
readily to mind.

Some of the fruit named Pi boards have hardware specs way better as well but price is very affordable.

I am wondering why the price is so low compared to the Raspberry Pi ? Or are we simply paying for the Raspberry brand name ?

Banana Pi and NanoPI eh ? :-)
