You can get an Intel N100 NUC with 16GB ram, 500GB ssd on Amazon for less though. This is just very expensive for what it is. | ||

These perform way better and have similar efficiency, too. Case, power supply, cooling, and storage are all included too. If you don't need GPIO then you don't need a Raspberry Pi. If you do then consider using a microcontroller (Pi Pico, ESP32, etc.) first. | ||

If you just want a tiny desktop computer, sure. The reason to buy a Pi is for the GPIO and the well-established ecosystem. | ||
