Verdict
BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone AI-64
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A purpose-built heterogeneous compute board for industrial robotics and vision work, wasted on anything general-purpose.
FriendlyElec NanoPi R5S
7.9 / 10 Expert Rating
The best small-form-factor board in this list specifically for home router or firewall duty -- dual 2.5GbE in something this small is hard to beat.
