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.
NVIDIA Jetson Nano
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A dated but cheap way to learn NVIDIA's CUDA/TensorRT stack before stepping up to current-generation Jetson hardware.
