Low cost was the problem. When the cheapest x86 you could buy was $50 the computer its in aint going to be cheap. Its also massive overkill, you probably already own a PC so you just need the RP2040 for a couple of quid. Though I would be interested in it if it had at least 2 more USB ports or better 4 would be perfect for automated Astrophotography then. To be honest this looks like a Melee quieter 2 PCB with GPIO added.

​@@JohnWilliams-gy5yc the Celeron J4125 on this board doesn't have AV1 encode/decode. Intel added a hardware decoder with their "11th Gen" processors (Tiger Lake), and encode is only on their newest "Core Ultra" processors (Meteor Lake). The Raspberry Pi 4 has a hardware decoder for H.264 and H.265, but the Pi 5 only has one for H.265. Presumably they thought software decode would suffice for H.264?

My daily driver PC is a J4125 (with 16GB of RAM and an NVMe SSD running Windows 11), and it is sufficiently snappy for all my productivity activities (e.g., watching ExplainingComputers on UKposts at 2K resolution). It pleases me to consume so little electricity (without all the heat and fan noise of typical consumer PC). Including the RAM upgrade, I spent less than $150 (not including a monitor). I find I run the air conditioning in my room less, thus saving even more electricity. I plan to solar-power my J4125 system as a fun project in the coming year (with batteries for 24/7 operation).

I'd say the Raspberry Pi is the Tesla of SBCs. It led the way and now we have a wealth of SBCs of all levels of capability and varying price points. Something to suit everyone. It's great that SBCs have returned so much control to home computer enthusiasts. We can control our machines again and can do more than ever. We are truly only limited by our imagination and determination. This has been helped in no small part by Chris's determination to cover as much of this tech as he can and get in on the ground floor of new development. Well done again Chris.

I think it would be awesome for some robotics applications. If you have the eMMC storage you can presumably add another PCIe device to that slot, which would be a great place for something like a Coral TPU/NPU card. There's enough GPIO to drive a nice few servo and motor drivers and plenty of CPU and RAM to host a little web interface for remote control.

Great review! An x86 SBC with GPIO and on-board M.2 NVME expansion for under $100 is certainly interesting- but the performance benchmarks when compared to the the Orange Pi 5 make it a much less appealing option than some of the RK3588 boards. @MakerbyMistake also pointed out that the X2L occasionally spiked to pretty high power consumption under load (relatively high, anyways). And we're almost at full upstream kernel support for the RK3588 too!

N100 SBCs obviously exist but I’ve noticed they tend to cost a bit more than the barebones mini PCs.

A good relief after Pi5 and its stupid 5V5A input. This one you can power even from a cheap charger from blue/yellow furniture shop 😀 Also software support is way ahead of ARM especially in a GPU department. I like that SWD header is exposed (I think you missed it?) - pretty exciting for C++ development and debugging RP2040 using second RP2040. And a good thing is that when you burn GPIO the chip can be replaced and is dirt cheap

For that price this is an amazing value board really. I expected to cost at least twice as much. It has the same price as a Pi 4 4GB, which is kind of insane. Also the mini PCIe slot allows some extension options, there are mini cards which can provide extra SATA ports for example, or you can extend it to a normal size PCIe slot with a riser. Tempting. :)

That is very nice. Perfectly usable as a daily driver / media PC that can also be used for physical computing projects, and it costs about a 3rd of what I spent on a Dragon 32 40 years ago. It does have a physical "low profile", but it's awareness profile has just been raised quite a bit.

Chris, you can use the lspci command to check the actual PCIE version and number of lanes connecting a device. Cheers!

Yep, through you might have to pass '-vv' to see the number of lanes in the output.

Nice review, EC! But please can you review Arduino Giga? Not many videos out there in UKposts. As always, keep up the great work!!!

This looks a great product for those of us who like to play with hardware. I see it as an “as well as” rather than “alternate to” a Pi 4/5. however it’s also a nice way to start with the Pico. A version with an included licence for Windows would also be nice.
