alt Hacker NewsI cant personally comment on them since I havent grabbed them yet but these are two Pi clones I was considering:
Radxa Rock 5C and Orange Pi 5
I would do research on them because they are a similar form factor and usually cheaper for more memory… the software will be different.
i'm running qwen3.5:0.8b on my orangepi zero 2w, low token/s but it still runs. I think i paid around £14 for it over a year ago but now the same board is double price. I wouldn't buy a computer right now of any kind. It's a bubble.
