Raspberry Pi Zero killer in the works
The Radxa Zero is the size of a Raspberry Pi Zero but is as capable, or more, than the larger Raspberry Pi 4. I’m definitely going to check a couple out.

It's on the web page, starting at $15, going up as you add RAM.

Given that the PiZero is $5, they have a way to go to capture the embedded market, nor does it seem that they are (yet?) nearly as well-supported with third-party software and hardware as the Pi. But this seems another step on the way to the "there's a computer in everything" world that now looks to be right around the corner.

Well, apples to apples says the Raspberry Pi Zero with WiFi and headers is $14.

Never knew what to do with either aside from Retropie. The Kodi stuff never appealed to me. What do you like to use them for?

pihole, VPN, print server, local web server. Some folks run Ansible and other utilities.
