Wow, that's perfect! The apu4d4 [0] is exactly what I want, and only $168! That's basically the same configuration and price as a NanoPi r6s. And they have over 500 in stock?! Almost seems to good to be true...

Thank you for making your first HN comment to share this link :)

You're welcome.

You asked a very good question, I've been hearing very good things about PC Engines for years (except of course the now common supply chain problems), and I'd have bought my own from them except I've already invested in the Mini-ITX ecosystem for these sorts of machines starting a couple of decades ago.

I ordered one :) I'm hoping their inventory counts were accurate and the supply chain issues have been smoothed out, but I don't mind waiting for quality if necessary.
