I almost bought a RPi and realized I'd get better value at a Dell mini PC. Sure it's significantly bigger than a Pi, but it's still small enough for my use case. I just don't see a good reason to get a Pi anymore. It used to be a cheap hobbyist board. Now it's...something else.

I wanted to upgrade my kids from Pi 4s to Pi 5s, but ended up just getting NUCs instead.

The only thing I can think of is GPIO compatibility these days.
