A new x86 mini pc is cost competitive with the pi 5, and is markedly faster, with all long-supported hardware and software.

And generally cheaper too if you factor in the case, SSD, SSD HAT, power adapter, HDMI converters.

You can get an intel N100 box with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD for just over $100 now. Faster and cheaper than a comparable Pi 5. Uses a bit more power though.

Educated guess: Could add as much as $10 a year if its running continuously.
