Verdict
ASUS NUC 13 Pro Board
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A serious, laptop-grade embedded x86 platform for OEM integrators, not a hobbyist SBC and priced accordingly.
Raspberry Pi Foundation Raspberry Pi 5
8.8 / 10 Expert Rating
The best default choice for general-purpose Pi projects that don't specifically need 8GB of RAM -- faster than the outgoing Pi 4 and considerably cheaper than the 8GB Pi 5.
