Odroid at hardkernal, I like the XU4 that at $53 will run full Linux distros and has A15 and A7 CPUs at 2 GHz, 2GB DDR3, Mali T-628 GPU, USB 3.0 and Gb Ethernet.

Hard to believe you get all that for $53, you wouldn't have to go back that many years to be in a place where you would have been happy to pay $2k for something like that.

While there check out their odroid go for 80 bucks, it's a ready to go gaming platform similar to Nintendo switch.

I have no affiliation with Odroid whatsoever, I just like their products.

These look really neat. Can you expand on what you mean by full linux distro? Can it out of the box run something like Debian/Ubuntu/Arch or is it vendor specific distribution?
Thanks, I'll pick one up. Hopefully that have a pi-zero competitive model as well. I'm hoping to prototype something that I want to fit in a pocket
Unfortunately, nothing like the zero I am aware of.
Thanks for the response. I'm not getting my hopes up but I am optimistic that surely someone has tried to enter this niche form factor solely given to how well it sells for the pi folks.
