At $80 a pop, might get more oomph from an older optiplex if electricity cost isn’t too big of a concern?

It's $60..... Nobody here is reading the damn article lol

$80 for its 8GB

It seems like people really aren't reading the article.

It STARTS at $60. Why are people hung up on the 8GB version?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Because it's what they will buy, it's what I'll buy. And it suits their argument. Calling people out for not reading the article when they are quoting a price from the article is silly though.

That being said, I don't really buy the comparison between the optiflex and the pi. It's like saying you can buy a perfectly good Geo metro as opposed to building a kit bike.

For me, the pi 4 4GB had been the sweet spot, however they’re saying pi 5 is roughly twice as fast, so I’m expecting 8GB to be the sweet spot
