The author discusses the Raspberry Pi as an affordable, energy-efficient home server until the release of the Pi 5. They highlight the limitations of the Pi in terms of performance and storage, comparing it to the small enterprise desktop PCs like the HP Elitedesk 705 G4 and 800 G3. The mini PCs offer better performance, storage options, and RAM capacity compared to the Pi 5 at a similar price point. They delve into technical details such as power consumption, benchmark scores, and remote management support. The author concludes that the mini PCs are a more compelling option for a home server than the Raspberry Pi unless significant improvements are made to the Pi’s capabilities and price.
