I use the Tinkerboard S and I absolutely love it. It’s so much faster and the dedicated EMMC storage helps a lot. Try it. The ecosystem is much better than it used to be.

I essentially have. If you compare the specs of the S vs non-S you'll see they basically didn't change anything. Same CPU, GPU, memory, clockspeed etc.
It's not terrible but I had somewhat naively assumed it would be a rasp-like experience but more powerful.
Switched from a rasp 3B+ to a Asus Tinkerboard and learned a tough lesson on the importance of eco-system.
It's more struggleboard than tinkerboard. Hours of hassles trying to get hardware acceleration to work etc.
All worked out in the end (threw Android & Kodi on it).
