You can buy a SBC though, so you don't necessarily need to. There's SBC's with more power than the Raspberry Pi (at least up to 3). They just cost more. I'm starting to get into the habit of using more Raspberry Pi's at home for network stuff, and I'm debating setting one up for a web development target platform, something that can be code-pen like but on my Pi. Beats running a bunch of VMs and cheaper than buying a whole rig just for VMs.
