But these are used, cheap new Atom miniPC doesn't have GPIO, and brand new Atom SBCs with GPIO are more $$$ with the same SoC compared to miniPC since they aren't mass produced. A used Pi with sdcard/case/fan is much less than $40.

Baseline RAM Pi are still magnitudes cheaper, its a moot/niche above 2GB for most makers. Pi doesn't have to cater to lite servers only...

Gotta admit that Pi foundation never cared about batteries, especially since it's common with makers, audio removal etc...

Gotta admit that the writing is very good and his content are entertaining, regardless of the content or (mis)information.

But the software for other SBCs is extremely bad, I've never heard of any Pi on release or after that has any software or hardware bugs.

Proprietary blobs aren't that bad with Broadcom...

Jeff is incredible, his brother works for RPi manufacturing I think looking at the factory tour.

He's not biased at all when it comes to comparing the Pi to the competition in his blogs, I mean erm clones, there is no competition anyways.
