Verdict
Banana Pi BPI-M5
6.9 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid, GPIO-compatible Pi alternative for media and general tinkering, though the driver ecosystem needs more patience than the official Raspberry Pi line.
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.
