wonder how it will stack up, cost wise.

[–] Dagamant@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

It has a lot going on so probably somewhere in the 150-200 usd range. Could be more depending on target audience

Looks promising. Then again, isn't Bananapi known for having terrible support and not being able to deliver proper official images?

Man, I get for low power it would be nice, but I can get a Dell micro used in that price range.

Where did you see a price??

Banana Pi didn’t disclose pricing or availability details, but the product announcement can be found here.

Are you clairvoyant?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Previous Banana Pis have been in the $100-200 ish range. If this comes in under $100, then it could be a good price, but I doubt it will.

The whole point of open source open spec hardware is no license fees. If a typical BPi is 100-200 then it stands to reason the risc version should be closer to the lower boundary than the higher one.
