For me the huge question would be availability. If I can only buy them one at a time the freight costs are absolutely stupid - - - its one of the reasons I've been working at finding a good alternative. Regards
At work, we're using Odroid. Have you considered them? -- On 2023-09-28 14:22, o1bigtenor via talk wrote:

+1 for Odroid. But I need to upgrade my XU4's to something Arm64 soon. On Thu, Sept 28, 2023, 3:54 p.m. William Park via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

I do work for someone who is using NanoPi boards. I also have an OrangePi board that I'm evaluating as a replacement for an RPi board in another product. There are so many boards from which to choose that have "Pi" in the name along with a lot of other similar form factor boards. Prices can vary quite a bit depending on features. Some cost quite a bit more than one of the RPi boards. -- Cheers!

A feature dropped was the 3.5mm audio out jack. So for audio from the Raspberry Pi 5 you will need it from the HDMI, Bluetooth, or via USB. On the Pi 4 / Pi 400 I have played around with Bluetooth audio, and while there may be some optimization that I missed, my experience was that the audio with games lagged what was happening on screen. For USB, I've played with USB sound cards (giving both audio out and microphone in) with an eye towards video conferencing and found those satisfactory. Also, as long as you don't need high volume, a low end USB speaker (like: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3369 ) works well. Also, I've used a VGA monitor with a Pi 400 using one of these HDMI to VGA adapters that lets you connect conventional speakers, which works well ( https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=5_3931_4363&item_id=121160&sid=u7t9tdh0opp5utj2bcb3s83t23 ). So, one real but minor disappointment aside, everything else looks good, and I do have a Pi 5 pre-ordered :-) .

It does seem interesting. I watched a video where someone gave a detailed breakdown of what is on the board. I won't be rushing out to buy one. I already have too many RPi boards. -- Cheers!
