The Banana Pi BPI-M7 single board computer is equipped with up to 32GB RAM and 128GB eMMC flash, and features an M.2 2280 socket for one NVMe SSD, three display interfaces (HDMI, USB-C, MIPI DSI), two camera connectors, dual 2.5GbE, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, a few USB ports, and a 40-pin GPIO header for expansion.

Damn, I got a Pi 4 8GB ram. Still planning on putting recalbox on it though.

Do you research very well before buying other boards than a Pi. It may be for you or now, depends a lot on your use-case.

Pretty cool. I'd compare this one to the Odroid H3±

That "SBC" has a strange price point because it is Intel and costs 250$. For 100€ you can find an HP Mini with an i5 8th gen + 16GB of ram + 256GB NVME that obviously has a case, a LOT of I/O, PCIe (m2) comes with a power adapter and outperforms a RPi5 in all possible ways.

I found it for $165. Definitely wouldn't pay $250.

Still have to buy power supply, case, cooling, etc.. And it has an older Intel CPU too.

There are newer Intel N100 boxes with a case, PSU, cooling, and so on for the same price or less sometimes.

Do you know of any newer Intel SBCs with the same IO? I would like to take a look

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

What kind of IO are you looking for? Here's a couple mini PCs, I'm not sure about SBC options.

I recently bought a Quartz64

[–] TCB13@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The full PCIe slot on those boards is just gold. I have a NanoPi M4v2 that also has PCIe in a M2 slot, used a cheap board to get 6 sata ports out of it.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

I actually got the B version but there is an adapter if I change my mind down the road. I wanted the wireless and ir sensor
