By the time you add things to the Raspberry Pi like:
- SSD Drive
- SSD Adapter
- Case
- Case fan
- Heatsink
- Power Cable
- HDMI Cable
- Memory Card
it ends up being easily $200-$300 and a Raspberry Pi cant even run Windows.- SSD Drive
- SSD Adapter
- Case
- Case fan
- Heatsink

I'm not sure about this form, but their minipc is known to shut down suddenly because of poor cooling design. It tends to overheat quickly, but they deleted all negative reviews from their site. I'm sure they pay commission to SD to promote their site

Sure if you wanna use a $35 no name SSD and some parts from Aliexpress you could go cheap on the parts I guess. I usually buy the parts from Amazon which is more expensive.
Im not saying that anyone is going to try to run windows on a Raspberry Pi, what I meant was that if you wanted to you wouldnt be able to do it since the hardware is so limited in comparison to a mini pc like this which is around the same physical size.
I don't think I'm going to be carrying this around in my purse or pocket as the listing suggests.
yes
(above comment is wrong)
Quick search those with similar CPU, RAM laptop like ThinkBook, HP EliteBook, etc, probably cost around $700 but without battery, screen, keyboard, touchpad, etc. So the performance probably more like those laptop and not desktop PC. If you don't need better component for production app, games, etc, probably good enough.

It's small. Don't expect a million ports and ssd slots. 🙄
