Man, I used to love the Raspberry Pi, until you couldn't get them anymore.

Now, I don't see the value in buying a starter kit with 8G RAM for $169, when a Mini PC with an Intel 4 core processor, 16GB RAM, an M.2 AND a 2.5in. SSD drive bay is the same $169, works with the full sized HDMI cables I already have, and isn't much bigger in size.

People keep telling me Pis still have a purpose, but it's clearly not with home lab and project tinkerers.

And this makes me sad.

@Trustnowan the first / cheapest Beelink on their site uses a CPU with a TDP of 35-54 watts and these computers don't have GPIO which would be pretty important to tinkerers
