Onboard storage is not the same on both, 2 GB on the Gigabyte Brix GB-BRi5 versus Up to 128GB NVMe SSD on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Developer Kit. The memory figures are near enough to ignore, Up to 32GB DDR4 SODIMM on the Gigabyte Brix GB-BRi5 versus Up to 16GB on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Developer Kit.

Which should you buy, Gigabyte Brix GB-BRi5 or NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Developer Kit?
The Gigabyte Brix GB-BRi5 is the one to take for compact home or office desktop replacement and digital signage needing real desktop performance, though it is not the pick for buyers wanting a plug-and-play complete system and ultra-low-power or battery projects. Take the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Developer Kit for robotics and edge-AI developers who've outgrown the Jetson Orin Nano tier but don't need AGX Orin's full power. Avoid it for hobbyists on a tight budget better served by the Orin Nano Super. Our rating of the Gigabyte Brix GB-BRi5 (7.5/10): A solid barebone choice for a compact, genuinely desktop-class x86 build when you're comfortable supplying your own RAM and storage. Our rating of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Developer Kit (8/10): the missing middle of the Jetson lineup, with real headroom over the Nano Super at well under AGX pricing.
