I see N100 PCs here for US$ 160. I guess the fiscal mismanagement and resulting inflation is still taking a toll. The Pi 5, however, has not changed price so far.I do not understand that price comparison. The guy compares a 150USD NUC to a 70USD Pi. Doesn't make any sense. He says that cooling solution, case and other accessories etc. are extra, well yes, but you can get a passive cooling case for a very cheap price which covers both items in one package, and everybody has a keyboard and a mouse at their home, and about power supply, I didn't get the new power supply to be honest, getting "zero" warnings with a 3 amp one. So i don't think anything extra is necessary.
Look at that beauty
I think the point is the PC includes case, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM and a power supply. To make an even comparison
- 8GB Pi 5 -- $80.00
- 5A Power -- $13.60
- NVMe Base -- $13.00
- Pi Case -- $10.00
- RTC Battery -- $5.00
- 256GB SSD -- $25.00
If I were configuring things, I might prefer the Argon NEO 5 m.2 NVMe case. Then
- 8GB Pi 5 -- $80.00
- 5A Power -- $13.60
- NEO 5 m.2 Case -- $38.00
- RTC Battery -- $5.00
- 256GB SSD -- $25.00
To me the prices look similar. So if all you want is to watch television the N100 might be a better choice. If doing Pi stuff, maybe not.
As an aside, if anyone reading has an N100 PC running Linux, I'd be interested what results are obtained for the Pi Chart program.

That would give an idea how the performance compares to the Pi 5 and others.
