    meanwhile you can get a 4tb for half that price and a 1tb 4 a quarter of that price using mechanical hard drives

    add in the 2 SSD's I have bought shit the bed 3 years into their life and I still have maxtors and quantiums from the late 80's still working fine, still the only advantage is speed, which is a moot point considering a properly setup amd A-X2 can still boot to a windows desktop before my cheap ass acer screen turns off its logo and my i7 loads everything except the largest of games instantly

    my ailenware laptop has had constant issues, dead SSD, bluray drive sometimes works, and every time you boot it the video bios says engineering release-not for production

    um 10 times the price, I bought a lite on sale for 26$, read 1 post above

    or in this case
    5 + 15 for wifi + 5 more for postage cause the cheapest one your going to buy in a retail store is 30-40 bucks = 25 - 26 = 10x more

    no,you fucking moron

    there's also no reason for me to not catch a pcduino on sale for 26$ that has wifi onboard, and its still faster

    I dunno why there is such a fanbase of the pi as there are better SBC's out there

    that's my biggest gripe about most these mini computers, you give me a ethernet port with magnetics but wifi is not an option (pcduino does it the other way around)
