The raspberry pi5 is a dud imo, unless you're counting your watts there's plenty of similarly priced off lease mini pc's that offer more features and more powerful hardware in a somewhat small size.

I am so tired of all the typos, misinformation, and blatantly wrong statements in your guys’ articles. Amd HAS made chiplet based mobile CPUs. 7945hx sound familiar?

Just do better. Actually check the specs, check product lineups, and for christs sake use spell check.

Care to state some?

Best example for me is N100.

Currently eying a N100 MB on Aliexpress (was $120 a couple of weeks ago) with 6 SATA ports and 4 LAN Ports. Plenty of power for a NAS build and when I include NVME and RAM it will be less than $200. I got 6 month ago a Mini-PC with the N100, 16GB and 512GB SSD for $125, which I use for Proxmox.

I like the concept of the Raspberry Pi's (I have two RP4's), but unless you use the HAT there is no reason at this price point to go with a RP5.

I don't see Pi and PCs as equivalent competitors. Albeit my experience with Pi is limited: I have tinkered with the device, but have not yet used it in anger.

I do have some small, 'always-on' PCs which I use for monitoring tasks, but they do not have the simplicity of hardware interfacing with real world environment which Pi facilitates,

I just bought a used lenovo m715q mini pc for $80 from facebook marketplace, it has a ryzen 2400ge, 16gb ram and 256gb ssd.
I've seen plenty of hp mini pc's with 7500t cpus also for around the same price.
Was about to get a rp5 for emulation but this minipc simply smokes it in every category.
