A new SBC from Odroid has a faster processor than the Raspberry Pi 4, while also being smaller.

Hi, Are you still happy with this ?FWIW, I've been pleased with my N2+ that I got about 1.5 years ago. That said, 4 GB of RAM is a little tight and I'm eager to see if ODROID will offer a RK3588 board, or similar.
Yes, but I don't have occasion to use it very often. For me, the main downside has been the lack of proper 3D acceleration in the vendor-supported Ubuntu image. If I really cared about it, I'd probly try installing Armbian. What a lot of people seem to do is just install a custom kernel.Hi, Are you still happy with this ? What OS are you using with it ?
Sorry, but I don't know anything about it. You'll have to research it yourself, if you're sufficiently interested. Here's the forum for running other OS's on it (i.e. besides Android and Ubuntu):I'd like to run LXLE on an N2+ as I like the functionality of the OS
Thanks for all the info. I will check out the forum you mention.Yes, but I don't have occasion to use it very often.

Another popular distro, which focuses on things like 3D and video acceleration, seems to be CoreElec. I can't say how useful it would be for general usage, however.

Depending on what you want it for, you should really consider a RK3588S board. I don't know of any that are particularly well-supported, but I know Orange Pi 5 is pretty cheap and has Armbian support. Although it's somewhat more expensive than the N2+, you can get it with 8 GB of RAM (or more?) and it's about twice as fast. However, it still has a Mali GPU, so proprietary drivers will still be needed for 3D and video acceleration.
I guess you've ruled out using a cloud service? That would be best, because new instances can spin up to meet demand, and they also use reliable server-grade hardware with various data protection features.The machine would just be used to run millions of data enquiries online 24 hours per day - so could run happily by itself.

In any case, good luck!
Fair enough.Thanks
No we don't want to use a cloud service as the data is very sensitive.....
