Situatie
Alternatives to the mighty Raspberry Pi are numerous, the $299 Edge 2 Pro packs in up to 16GB of LPDDR4X and an octa-core CPU.
For a little less money there is the Khadas VIM 4, a $239 octo-core (2.2GHz Quad core ARM Cortex-A73 and 2.0GHz Quad core Cortex-A53 CPU) based machine with 8GB of LPDDR4X. As you can see, both of these boards retail for far higher prices than the Raspberry Pi 4 (yes they are back in stock now). So how can we get close to the Raspberry Pi price point?
Khadas’ answer is the VIM1S, a lower specification board that comes in at $65. It has a quad-core Arm CPU, 2GB of RAM and onboard 16GB eMMC. the VIM1S is more of something in between a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Raspberry Pi 4, it lacks Gigabit Ethernet but has onboard eMMC.
Is it a viable Raspberry Pi alternative? Should we go for a slice of this over our favorite Raspberry Pi?
