Not really. Just has to run till at least 5years at least. Since this will be deployed at customer site, pine64 and android both are not feasible. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Agreed. This is for customer site. At home i would do the same thing on a PI.
So this will be deployed for customer sites. I dont think they will be happy with second hand stuff from ebay 😀 For my personal stuff i would have been happy with that though.
Budget is not an issue actually. This is going to be deployed for customers but i want to it to be as cheap aspossible to get them maximum value for their money. Software stack is going to be minimal. Probably alpine linux or ubuntu server. Spec wise i think even an i3 level cpu is fine. Ram 8gb, hard disk 256 gb ssd should be more than enough. Dont require any fancy wireless stuff like wifi and Bluetooth.
What replacement options you are looking at?

I added more comments on the original post which describes the situation a bit more.
Don't know what's a good way to get the comments linked to this post.
Do take a look if you are interested.
