If you are looking for alternatives to the Raspberry Pi, then you can pick interesting devices from the list above. There are options with different characteristics and prices. While some of these SBCs have yet to be released, they will be available soon. Note that I have nothing against the Raspberry Pi, they are deservedly the market leader. If you think I've missed some decent alternative to the Raspberry Pi, you can write in the comments - maybe I'll add it to this list.





Thank you for attention.
