Why the linux boards are always designed to be cheap? What about those who have little more dough and are willing to put some cash to get extra? Just create some expensiver premium models, not only cheap stuff, damn it.
- hardkernel boards
- Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier (8 core + 512 CUDA core volta GPU, PCIe 4.0)
- Honeycomb LX2 (16 core, quad SFP+ (for 10G optics), PCIe 4.0)
I purchased an AGX Xavier for doing some self driving robot projects.
Moreover, it looks to me like these cheap boards are not lacking features. What would you want in a premium version that is not present in the current models?
At the end of the day most of these are just toys and it's hard to justify spending $850 on a device that is less capable than a $500 mini form factor OEM box if you're doing something serious.

But it is a little pricey.
