Way more power, cheaper and relatively small. There’s a lot of different CPU&amp;#x2F;RAM&amp;#x2F;DISK configurations you can find.&lt;p&gt;I’ve been buying these, throwing Fedora IoT, docker, and Tailscale on them and running them from different locations for personal projects.</text></comment>

If they need less power consumption then they could have used Pi 4 or other lower version.&lt;p&gt;Besides low cost I don&amp;#x27;t see other advantage of such configuration. Please enlighten me.</text></comment>
