Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi
Banana Pi is working on the upcoming Banana Pi BPI-M7 SBC powered by Rockchip RK3588 SoC whose low profile design reminds me of boards from Khadas such as
The Banana Pi BPI-M7 single board computer is equipped with up to 32GB RAM and 128GB eMMC flash, and features an M.2 2280 socket for one NVMe SSD, three display interfaces (HDMI, USB-C, MIPI DSI), two camera connectors, dual 2.5GbE, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, a few USB ports, and a 40-pin GPIO header for expansion.

Pretty cool. I'd compare this one to the Odroid H3±
That "SBC" has a strange price point because it is Intel and costs 250$. For 100€ you can find an HP Mini with an i5 8th gen + 16GB of ram + 256GB NVME that obviously has a case, a LOT of I/O, PCIe (m2) comes with a power adapter and outperforms a RPi5 in all possible ways.
I found it for $165. Definitely wouldn't pay $250.
Still have to buy power supply, case, cooling, etc.. And it has an older Intel CPU too.
There are newer Intel N100 boxes with a case, PSU, cooling, and so on for the same price or less sometimes.
Do you know of any newer Intel SBCs with the same IO? I would like to take a look
What kind of IO are you looking for? Here's a couple mini PCs, I'm not sure about SBC options.
1GbE: https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Intel-N100-Computer-Desktop-Display/dp/B0BVFS94J5
Dual 2.5GbE: https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Lake-N100-Mini-Computer-Supports-Home-Server/dp/B0C339KVH9
I'm looking for something to run Open Media Vault. Fast Ethernet and multiple drive options. I also like to tinker, the prebuilt mini PCs haven't interested me much
You can pick up an i3-8100 with motherboard and RAM for about $80 on eBay if you look around, that would let you do your own build
Thank you
Well https://www.kubii.com/en/nano-computers-boards/3824-odroid-h3h3-card-3272496313545.html on their website yes, it costs $165 https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h3-plus/ assuming you won't pay extra taxes.
