    This is pretty neat but I’m not planning to buy another Orange Pi after finding out they won’t boot from eMMC while an SD card is present.

      It won’t let you change the boot order?

        Yeah there was no option that I could find. And I don’t think it will fall back to the eMMC if the SD is not bootable, my understanding is that it just doesn’t boot in that case.

    It’s cool but why would I want to use this over an old workstation or tiny x86 PC?

    At the prices on the page it seems like way too much my general IoT usage.

      Up to 16 on the pro and 32 on the Pi Plus

        I was tired of the “pro” thing in general, but seeing it’s not “middle level” makes it even worse
