Great video, congrats on 1M subscribers, nice to see ARM and X86 boards on the list. Great to buy these for fun projects it’s also a great way to support these manufacturers.

Your ranking is highly flawed .. seems like you were paid off by raspberry pi foundation.
@baduino Says:
hey i love your content, but look into this; shenzhen uses uyghur slaves to produce pi knockoffs and artificially drains pi's out of the market in an organized state sponsored attack to mark them up on alibaba and make them less appealing price-wise. this was the tactic for pi 4 but it looks like for pi 5 they have a little more control over china and are preventing buy-out.

Can hobbyists donate their old raspberry pi 4s to the International Explaining Computers Club?

Biased review, orange is better than raspberry
@phrankus2009 Says:
I see no real difference between these "True SBCs" and "palmtop" Mini PCs, so, As far as X86 environments, are concerned, I do consider your $140, N100, UHD Minis, to be a far greater value. (And, we know that USB>GPIO adapters cost a mere pittance).
@lalogarcia91 Says:
Strange we're not seeing LattePanda SBC's or Udoo Bolt (which I'm actually not a big fan). But those are supposed to be good SBC.

Still waiting for odyssey 16 gb memory.
But I'm glad it has an input voltage range that fits my mobile purposes.

Sorry about coming late to the party.
@rickhunt3183 Says:
I think you nailed it. The PI is always going to be #1 in my opinion. It might not be the fastest or most high tech, but it's a stable platform, that's flexible enough to run a variety of os like Kali Linux. It's a natural choice for Python development and there's lots of support and help available from other users. That's not to say the orange pi doesn't have a place. I can think of lots of physical programing applications where the orange pi might be a better alternative when is comes to cost vs benefit. That being said, I think a noob should stick with the Raspberry PI for the above mentioned reasons. While cheaper options may be available. They are generally better suited to those with more experience in my opinion, due to limited technical support resources. However if someone's main objective is using the SBC's I/O connector, and writing physical programming applications in python they should be good to go.
@alanszlosek Says:
Thank you for covering SBCs! Do you know whether there's an online database of SBCs (perhaps crowdsourced) that can help folks find a board that works for them? I'm having a hard time finding boards with 2 ethernet ports and would love a way to easily search and filter. Related, I'm also searching for boards that are fully supported by the vanilla Linux kernel and the main distros directly (say from Debian or Armbian). I'd rather not rely on ISOs built by the board manufacturer for security and longevity reasons. Thank you!
@Darkmetamorphosis1 Says:
Is there an 8 core x86 sbc?
@RottnRobbie Says:
It feels like 10 to 20 SBCs have been released every year for the last decade or so, with every one of them being a 'niche' product (that is, not a mass-market consumer device) that would require both a large development cost, and then demand a significant ongoing support cost.
I find it hard to imagine the total production volume for any of them (possibly excepting the Raspberry Pi) is much over 100,000 units, and I'm guessing most of them sell well under that number. Almost all of them are priced under $200, with many well under $100.
And yet - there are several companies making a go of it, and new boards just keep on coming. I'm not complaining (much) about having too many choices, but for at least 5 years I've been expecting the bonanza to come to a crashing halt. Obviously I just don't understand the economics of the situation.

the min PC with Intel n100 much better than these ARM devices

@Lurch-Bot Says:
The Orange Pi is interesting but I've decided to go with a Raspberry Pi 5 for my first SBC.
Edit: ran out of patience and got an OP5 Plus. Using it to edit this comment. Running Ubuntu 22.04.03, the Joshua Rieck version.
@digitalizeddeath Says:
Chris you make outstanding entertaining videos
Absolutely love your channel friend
Wish you all the best, and look forward to seeing your amazing ensemble cast in the future.
Mr Scissors, Stanley the Knife and everyone else.
@digitalizeddeath Says:
I know I get a lot of flak from my open source buddies
But I find Ubuntu works best on a lot of things
Honestly I use it as my daily driver OS
It runs my servers, yes I have a problem
I have 5 servers to every one desktop
@M4XD4B0ZZ Says:
Is there a way to search for SBCs with specific features? Most are overkill for my use case or don't have USB 3.0 or Gigabit for example
@darrell3O87OO Says:
I like the performance of the Orange Pi 5 Plus. But I still have a place for my Raspberry Pi. Best to have both 😁
Quick question - Has anyone looked into porting the Raspberry PI version of RISC-OS to the RISC-V boards?
@andrewfalconbridge2744 Says:
Very informative video. I agree that a balance of decent CPU spec and good Software support is very important and the RPi 5 does this at a reasonable price.
I look forward to more videos, Thank you Chris.
@bobnelsonfr Says:
The Raspberry Pi 5 is impossible to find. So I'll get an Orange Pi 5 plus, immediately available on Amazon. It often comes bundled with an emmc module... but I can't find instructions for flashing that module with a bootable OS. Could you please help?
@randallstephens1680 Says:
Is Raspberry Pi the only manufacturer of SBCs that is not in China?
@KameraShy Says:
Unobtainium should not have been included on the list. Maybe the Raspberry Pi 5 will be in the stores by 2025.
@faithastro Says:
Another great video, thank you. I have a question - Is it possible to turn an android tv box into a mini pc to run a linux OS or just re-purpose it in some way?
@SansNeural Says:
"Lichee" is pronounced "lee chee". It's a small fruit, following the Raspberry Pi's lead, I guess.
@Atmatan_Kabbaher Says:
Any of these able to run an LLM with some speed yet?
@kiodiekin Says:
13:23 actually the orange pi 5 and 5 b both have a second hdmi out display using usb c
@zhusun_electronics Says:
brilliant!!
@ivolol Says:
I'm waiting for a goldilocks board to use as a home router. There's a lot of hella good boards out atm but with only 1 ethernet jack. And there's a lot of janky with ones with 2, which I want; or alternatively super expensive ones with 2 ports but also 20 other things a router doesn't really need. I'm also very very not interested in running things off SD cards these days, break too much. Internet -> dumbified modem -> SBC -> switch/router -> LAN is the setup I'm eventually thinking of.
Extremely disappointed that the RPi 5 still regards alternative storage to an SD card as a 2nd class citizen. Hoping soon maybe that PCIe connector will allow nvme storage to be the norm.
@Neilhuny Says:
Phewey, I bought the best available! Or, strictly speaking, 2 of the best available - a 4 Gig version and an 8 Gig, plus accessories, which will arrive in January 24.
I have long wanted to build a thing - technical term - that measures the distance a car is from me on my bicycle as it overtakes and then takes a photo or films a short segment if the vehicle is too close! My RaspberryPi 4 should be more than good enough for that. I will assume many cars will trigger the filming and store the result, over several hours cycling.
I don't care that you can buy cameras film for hours and you can clip 'incidents' after they happen, when you arrive home and say "This was too close". It is unscientific. I want a techy, independent, verifiable way to measure the distance vehicles pass at ... with film or photos of the worst offenders

What is a good sbc for an arm desktop pc?
@danielkowalski7527 Says:
Those sbc are intresting in terms of low power consumption.
Got some sff with n3150 inside w8ing but... im just using my powerefficient intel 9100 not rlly having any reason to use anything else. How many computers a human need? ^^
@christopher480 Says:
good video but the pi 5 should not be number 1.......all 3 orange pi 5 boards out perform the pi 5 by alot and you totally left out khadas boards. Clearly you used some kind of criteria that is not based on performance. You should probably change your title to "boards with the best support" cuz thats the only reason the pi 5 should be number 1.
@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi- Says:
The Orange Pi 5 Plus is #1 in my book. This thing is a beast.
@AenesidemusOZ Says:
The Orange Pi 5 V1.2 has 3 Cam and 2 LCD interfaces, as well as the usual HDMI port. That seems ... excessive?

How much ram is the banana sold with?
@nathanbanks2354 Says:
About to switch from a Rock 5b to an Orange Pi 5 Plus...but this is mostly because I preordered one with 32GB of RAM. Looks like the list is in the right order.
@ianhaylock7409 Says:
10:33 i think you mean 4 USB 3.0 Type a sockets.
The problem with these boards is that unless you need gpio access you can get a second hand i5 mini PC for £75 that will eat these SBC's for dinner in performance. They will also have better graphics drivers for hardware acceleration.
