MODERATORS
The lack of full size HDMI is still pretty disappointing.
I’d rather have an M.2 connector without requiring a HAT.
I’ll stick with my Orange Pi 5 for now which comes with one, tyvm.
I gave the Orange Pi 5 a try and I love it for hosting/data intensive applications. The real M.2 for a SSD is a game changer.
I still use RPi boards for all kinds of embedded solutions, especially once it's GPIO based work, but for server/network kinds of work I put it on the Orange Pi 5 board.
M.2 is a serious win. That’s why I couldn’t believe the RPi5 didn’t include one natively.
I have a mix of Orange and Raspberry Pis. It all depends on their features, specs, and price point for the job. But if I don’t need a HAT, Orange usually wins out.
