    Anything you’d need a smaller system for that a laptop/notebook can’t achieve but a traditional deskrop/sff system is to big for.

    In the end it’s just a small PC.

      It’s not going to do anything you can’t do with a laptop because they’re using laptop processors.

      but a traditional deskrop/sff system is to big for.

      Too big how?

        Stability and resiliency you get from a system like this. Obviously stacking a Ryzen 7 against any RPI is not possible / fair really.

        If you have a RPI around, it is a great starting point for a lot of thjngs. At some moment ypu will just want something can be extended, doesn’t rely on SD card, isn’t too picky about which SSD you give it etc.

        ARM vs x86(x64)

        Besides that: Performance (and not even that considering what iMacs can provide)

        Besides that? Probably not much else.
        Technically a Pi (-clone) suffices for most tasks.
