So basically a nice little PC with more RAM coming?
But what’s the price?
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPcPfNa
Looks like $129 + shipping & tax
I paid for min (16GB RAM + 256 eMMC + shipping & tax) 182€.
Have you gotten it yet? If so, what do you think?
Yes, I’ve gottten it and suceeded to install Orange Pi OS, but as I actually wanted debian server which I’m still trying to install.
In about half an hour I was testing installig few stuff (Docker, ZeroTier, …) it was alright, mine main test was to check will cpu be too hot on touch.
I need a router for my Homelab and had my heart set on a firewall PC from AliExpress[1], but after reading this, maybe I should get an Orange Pi 5 instead.
Not bad pricing; $218 CAD on AliExpress for the 16GB RAM model with power adaptor. For environmental reasons with its lower power consumption, I should maybe get one instead of running things off my desktop.
On the other hand, a 24GB video card would allow for much more powerful LLMs and AI-image generation, which might be more useful (if a lot more expensive and power hungry).
If money and time to tinker were no issue, I’d do both, lol.
