XpressReal T3 £44.44

Open-source and hackable SBC based on the Realtek RTD1619B, powered by openFyde.

If this soc is enough, then any allwinner, amlogic or unisoc is good. It's like going from passive (android TV boxes/tablets) to active (chromeos)

With almost the same benchmarks it's ready for ChromeOS

Since the 7C works flawlessly also with smooth stylus input, some more boards could be used to surf the ARM wave.
