Verdict
Banana Pi BPI-M2 Zero
5.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A functional, extremely cheap Pi Zero clone for the lightest headless tasks, but its 512MB RAM ceiling and dated CPU make the Zero 2 W or BPI-M4 Zero better investments for most new projects.
Hardkernel ODROID-N2+
7.6 / 10 Expert Rating
A fast, no-nonsense wired board that beats the Pi 4 on clock speed for NAS and server tasks, at the cost of any wireless option and a 4GB memory ceiling.
