Forget about a $120 Raspberry Pi 5 barebone, I found a much better $120 mini PC that has 512GB SSD, a far more powerful CPU and an actual casing

  • A more expensive Raspberry Pi may not please everyone, so I looked for an alternative x86 model
  • The Pi is still great for tinkerers and for enthusiasts
  • But I feel that RPi did “An Apple” – 50% more expensive for 2x RAM is quite unexpected

The Raspberry Pi Foundation recently introduced the Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB of RAM, with the increased memory set to benefit heavyweight distributions such as Ubuntu for desktop use cases. But the new model is priced at $120 – nearly twice as expensive as the 8GB one, and very pricey for a single-board computer, which raises the question: could a better device be found for the same price? The answer is a resounding yes.

The Dreamfyre Mini PC (DR02) offers a competitive x86 option with superior specifications and an actual case for $120 on Amazon. Designed for home, educational, and professional use, it is powered by a 12th Gen Intel Celeron N95 processor, capable of reaching speeds of up to 3.4GHz.
